Hi,

LaTeX "index" command doesn't need an anchor in order to print the page number.

Sometimes you can't give the ConTeXt-Command "index" any anchor. Think of an external figure on a page and nothing else, without any text. When I say, for instance:

\index{Brigitte Bardot}\strut

I get a correct index, but an unsolicited extra empty page, too. What could be a solution? My ConTeXt version is: "ConTeXt ver: 2014.11.12 21:46 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.11.14"

i'm pretty sure that any index mechanism that is supposed to provide the right page does a delayed write, so some kind of anchoring is there

(you could try \index{...}\null or maybe \setregisterentry)

Sorry, Hans. \index{...}\null isn't the solution either: I get an unwanted additional empty page, but no pagenumbers in the index. Regarding \setregisterentry I cannot say very much because I didn't find enough information about that topic: I fear I have to set in advance the appropriate page numbers and cannot use ConTeXt's page number facilities. Ok, I shall look for other solutions, thank you.
