How to add data from another PDF in index?
I am making a textbook and workbook set. I have this custom index using this code, in both the textbook and workbook: % \defineregister[learnedshort][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedshort][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \defineregister[learnedlong][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedlong][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \define[1]\learnedis{% \txt{} \getvalue{#1} \learnedshort{#1} \learnedlong{#1} } \define[1]\learned{% \learnedshort{#1} \learnedlong{\getvalue{#1}} } \starttext \learnedis{blah blah} \input knuth \learnedis{some more} \startchapter[title=Standards] \placelearnedshort \stopchapter \stoptext My question is, can I have references to the Workbook page numbers in the textbook? And visa-versa? For instance, the Textbook index currently looks like this: ------------- Standards blah blah 1 some more 2 -------------- With the data in the Workbook it might look like this: Standards blah blah 1, WB: 1, 3-8 some more 2, WB: 8-9 yet more WB: 10, 12 -------------- Is this possible to merge index information like this? --Joel
We are currently working on fixing cross-references as well as shared
register information between products in a ConTeXt project structure.
Much is possible, but not all is fully worked out.
My current use is a multi-volume book, sharing Tables of Contents
between the two volumes. As a teaser,
\placelist [part,chapter,section,subsection]
[criterium=product,reference=VolumeII]
will include the TOC of VolumeII in product VolumeI.
Once we have this figured-out, I will have to create a wiki page.

Hans needs to confirm, "In the next update..."
Test files (MWEs):
% index-1.tex
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
test \index{entry WB.1} \page empty \page
test \index{another WB.1} \page empty \page
test \index{onemore WB.1} \page empty \page
test \index{whatever WB.1} \page empty \page
test \index{common} \page empty \page
\placeregister[index]
\stoptext
% index-2.tex
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\defineregister[xedni]
\useregister[workbook][index-1][index][WB ]
\starttext
test \index{onemore TB.1} \page
test \index{another TB.1} \page
test \index{entry TB.1} \page
test \index{common} \page
test \xedni{onemore TB.2} \page
test \xedni{another TB.2} \page
test \xedni{entry TB.2} \page
test \xedni{common} \page
\placeregister[index,xedni,workbook]
\stoptext
This seems to work well - I have applied it to a long and complicated
multi-volume book project to great success!
We need to thank Hans for the quick implementation.

Fantastic! Exactly what I needed. My publisher was gong to ask for the information of this index soon, so its great that already works!
