- How to format the index (divided into sections preceeded by the appropriate uppercase letter, pagenumbers aligned right, "\dotfill" between word and pagenumber)
I am wondering about that (the uppercase letter) as well.
I managed to get uppercase letters by using the MakeIndex program instead of ConTeXt's built in features -- it was mentioned in an earlier thread on this list... But of course my LaTeX-index-styles don't work with ConTeXt, and so far I didn't manage to get all the letters on the right place (some strange things happened there...). Using ConTeXt's built in features would be much smoother, maybe there is (or will be) a way to realize those kind of things without additional packages/programs, too.
As far as I remember, the bibliography module uses descriptions to format the entries; ie. it should be possible to use \setupdescriptions[...][...] to tune spacing (eg. the keys "before", "after", "inbetween"). I remeber having read about it in the bibliography manual, there should be more in there.
thanks. I will have a look! Andreas
