Hi,

I tried to put _ in index entry and am unable to do it. I tried following 1. \index{_shiv} 2. \index{\type{_shiv}} 3. \index{\textunderscore{} shiv} _ is a special character for TeX. You can change this behaviour globally with \nonknuthmode or you can escape the _ locally by using the backslash.

\nonknuthmode \starttext \placeindex Hello\index{huhu} \stoptext or \starttext \placeindex Hello\index{_huhu} \stoptext both work for me. Marco
