Hello there,

I am relatively new to ConTeXt, now typing a small book in it. I have a problem with the register (index). This is an example:

[…]

|The page numer of the reference "Long Long Long" is set to the next page. How to prevent this? Maybe the reference "Long Long Long" could break into two lnes or a rule like that?

\index{Long Long Long}blub

and

blub\index{Long Long Long}

an index entry (currently) inserts a node in the list and that one should be bound to the word The problem is not the \index command but the text in the register, as you can see in the example below the text and the page number are in separate columns (or in the long example on separate pages).

\setuppapersize[A6]

\starttext

\index{Too long entry}Long index entry.

\blank

\placeindex

\stoptext

This is caused by this macro in strc-reg.mkiv where you insert only a normal skip between the the text and page number, changing \hskip to \nobreak\hskip moves at least a part of the last word in the entry to the next column in the example above.

\unexpanded\def\registerpageseparator% todo: , configurable {\ifconditional\c_strc_registers_page_done \registerpageseparatorsymbol \else \hskip\d_strc_registers_distance\relax \settrue\c_strc_registers_page_done \fi}

Wolfgang I don't find this macro in

strc-reg.mkiv I am using current version: 2012.05.30 11:26 What do I have to change? Grüße Huseyin strc-reg.mkiv

You need the beta version but before you do this make a copy of your current version. Even then don’t try to modify the macro in the file itself because the next update changes this back to the old definition with the next update and you can never say how long this would work because it’s a internal macro which could change/disappear.
