Re: [NTG-context] Indexing redux

List,

I am trying to create an index with both "see" and "see also" cross-reference entries.[1] At this point, ConTeXt provides basic support for "see" entries via the \seeREGISTER command (it does not properly support references to sub-entries) and it provides no support at all for "see also" entries.

Can somebody suggest a way to generate these entries? Perhaps a way of inserting entries into the index before it is formatted, in the manner of \writetolist or \writebetweenlist? (MkII has \writetoregister, but that did not carry forward and I do not know if it would have helped here.)

Since strc-reg.mkiv starts with a number of ’todo’ comments, I think your best bet is to create an actual functional example along with an explanation of what you want the typeset result to look like in the cases where it is not doing what you want. Generally, explicit examples / test files are the best way to get replies to questions (either by Hans or anyone else). Best wishes, Taco
