Hi Hraban, Maybe you can add some « virtual » text in the section with an invisible color such as \startcolor[white] a \stopcolor I don't know whether the following can solve your problem, but the entries of the index appear correctly: \usemodule[visual] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{% \startchapter[title={\recurselevel}] \dorecurse{5}{% \startsection[title={\fakewords{3}{5}}] \startcolor[white] a \stopcolor \index{Something}\index{A\recurselevel} } \stopchapter } \completeindex \stoptext Best regards: OK

Hi, I‘m despairing about my index – some sections contain only an image (\externalfigure), but I need to set several index entries for the image contents. The index entries get postponed until after the next chapter. I guess the problem is that there’s no (text) content, but \par and \strut didn’t help.

The MWE shows that index entries in empty sections are ignored, i.e. “Something” is supposedly only on p.6:

\usemodule[visual]

\starttext

\dorecurse{5}{% \startchapter[title={\recurselevel}]

\dorecurse{5}{% \startsection[title={\fakewords{3}{5}}]

\index{Something}\index{A\recurselevel}

}

\stopchapter }

\completeindex

\stoptext

What can I do?
