...

although the .tui file is full of entries as far as I can tell. Maybe something esle is wrong - still working on minimal file.

\starttext

\placelist[chapter][criterium=text] \placeindex[criterium=text]

\chapter{test}

\index{test} test

\stoptext

can you send me the tui file?

This works fine - registers gain entries and are output correctly, and the .tui file has in it: c \thisissectionseparator{:} c \thisisutilityversion{2003.07.19} c \thisisbytesequence{} f b {tester} c \mainreference{}{index:t}{2::0:0:0:0:0:0:0::1}{1}{} c \initializevariable\usedcolorchannels{} c \listentry{chapter}{1}{1}{test}{2::0:1:0:0:0:0:0::2}{2} r e {index} {2} {} {test} {2::0:1:0:0:0:0:0::2} {2} f e {tester} c \initializevariable\lastpage{2} c \initializevariable\lastpagenumber{2} c \initializevariable\totalnofMPgraphics{0} c \initializevariable\totalnofpositions{0} c \initializevariable\totalnofparbackgrounds{0} c \initializevariable\currentstrategypass{1} Must be something I'm doing in the main file. I will continue to try to produce a minimal non-working example. Thanks for all the help thus far. Duncan
