distinguishing index entries according to function by using \setupregister
In MkII, one could configure the index to have different types of page entries, e.g. roman and italic, by using \setupregister, as in the example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupregister. That doesn't work with a fairly recent MkIV (2014.05.17 beta). I see that it's a long-standing feature request: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg67495.html So, it is probably not on the short-term feature list. But, if it is on the list, please let me know, as I'll keep using it for my textbook! Otherwise, I'll just make all the page entries the same style. The perfect is the enemy of the good, especially after 19 years... (Right now with 2014.05.17 beta, using the feature, say as \index[definition::]{commutativity}commutativity, gives an entry alphabetized according to the "definition::" key.) Regards, -Sanjoy

hm, it's already an old (mkiv) feature

we have a better and mnore powerful mechanism now \defineprocessor[bf][style=bold] \defineprocessor[it][style=italic] \starttext \index{it->italic}\index{normal} This is a \index[bf->bold]{test with bold number}test. This is a less important \index{test}test. \placeindex \stoptext (see test suite registers/processors*) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for this, and sorry for the noise. I didn't even see that material on the Registers wiki page, because I stopped looking after seeing the \setupregister command help. But I've updated that help to refer (for MkIV) to the Registers#Processors section. -Sanjoy
