Re: [NTG-context] formatting index entries

21 Aug 2019

      Strange, in MkIV I get an error message which I do not understand, because by the look of it, your code (I called the file 'indexpablo.tex') seems in order – but in MkII (which I need) it works.

The MkIV error log:

Dear list members,
In my book I am creating an index. I know that there are commands
for formatting index entries, like:
\index{sl::īga}
[...]
\index{īga+emphasized}
[...]
Any suggestions?
Hi Robert,
this worked in MkIV/XL (I don’t know what might happen in MkII):
\starttext
   \index[īga]{{\em īga}}
   \index[īga+emphasized]{{\em īga+emphasized}}
   \completeindex
   \stoptext
Just in case it helps,
Pablo
