Back in april 2012 Robert Blackstone asked some questions about indexing http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg63134.html i.a.:
For a book in the area of musicology I would like to make one register with entries of different kinds, distinguishable by their appearance in the register (or index or whatever). The index entries will mostly be authors, including composers, musical terms and musical compositions. The titles of the compositions and the foreign words are set in italic characters throughout in the text of the book. What I would like is to be able to distinguish all entries according to whether they are treated in the text, are shown in a musical example, or are mentioned only in a foot- or endnote.
In many books page numbers indicating illustrations are set in italics. Pagenumbers indicating foot- or endnotes often have a suffix "n".
His other question were resolved, but this one remained unanswered, apart from that two other users also wanted to do exactly the same thing.
I would like to do something very similar and was wondering: Has this been addressed/solved since then?
Perhaps the following can help. It has separate user page numbers for the main matter and back matter, with a suffixed ‘n’ for the items indexed from backmatter pages, but no suffix on the backmatter page numbers. The index entries for figures are rubricated and have a leading ‘f’. \defineprocessor [backpart] [style=slanted,right=n] \defineprocessor [Figure] [style=\tf,color=red,left=f] \defineconversionset [backpart:pagenumber][][backpart->o] \setupuserpagenumber[way=byblock] \setuppagenumbering [location=none] \setupheadertexts[{\convertedcounter[userpage][numberconversionset=number]}] \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=A chapter] \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\index{bbb}This is a footnote.} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Another chapter}] \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\index{bbb}This is a footnote.} \startplacefigure[location=default, title={Body illustration\index[Figure->]{ccc}}] \externalfigure[dummy][] \stopplacefigure \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \page \startbackmatter \startchapter[title=An appendix] This is in the backmatter.\index{aaa}\footnote{\index{bbb}This is a footnote.} \startplacefigure[location=default, title={Appendix illustration\index[Figure->]{ddd}}] \externalfigure[dummy][] \stopplacefigure \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Notes] \placenotes[footnote] \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Index] \placeregister[index] \stopchapter \stopbackmatter \stoptext -- Rik
