At least for the Index, Joel, here is how I achieved that:

\defineprocessor[special][style=italic]

And then by way of an example in the text referring to a newspaper:

\index{special->Age, The} {\em The  Age} of 31 July 2018

Julian

Its common convention to italicize words that are of a different language. I've tried marking these words, but then when they also appear in the glossary and index, they are not appearing in the correct placement--somehow the italicized words appear under the "s" category, no matter what letter they start with.

Is there any way in ConTeXt to just give it a list of words, and it will italicize them wherever they are found in the text, no matter they are in the body, some index, etc.?
