Hi all,
Is it possible to format indexed words in a particular style within the text more or less automatically. For example, if I write
There are some \index[ducks] in the zoo.
...I would like the term "ducks" to appear in small-capitals to indicate the that term can be found in the index. Ideally, I'd like to do that without explicit manual formatting. Is that possible?
Thank you, Malte.
Your example above would not print the word "ducks" at all. I commonly use: \def\Index#1{\index{#1}#1} There are some \Index{ducks} in the zoo. In ConTeXt, text to be typeset typically appears within {}. Of course, you can then modify the definition to format the text as you wish: \def\Index#1{\index{#1}\sc #1} I'm sure that there is a more clever way. Note that the \index{} command appears *before* the word, not after. Otherwise, the word might get placed at the end of a page and the index point to the following page. I believe that the \index{} command takes care to avoid the opposite case. Alan
