Hi,
possibly a trivial question, but can't find it anywhere:
How do I get the term "C++" into an index? Unfortunately ConTeXT interprets the "+" as a separator for indexed terms and I did not find a way to escape it that did not confuse the index mechanism./
\index[&Cplusplus]{C++} \index[Cplusplus]{Cpp}
So, the & as started signals texutil that that is the separator instead of + while the plusplus makes sure that the sorting is ok
Hans The second part of this advice I assume is now just out of date, since it will simply produce a second index entry called Cpp. However, the first part *almost* works - it outputs an entry "C" with a subentry "+" (without the & you can't get a + out at all).
What is the up-to-date workaround for this issue to let me get a single entry in the index that just says "C++"? Minimal test file is as follows: \starttext We are talking about \index[&Cplusplus]{C++}C++, the programming language. \placeindex \stoptext Thanks! Duncan
