Try 1:

Result 1: hello 2 <- must be 1! world 2

Try 2: \starttext \section{Hello}\index{Hello} some text <- putting some text here \page \index{world}world \page \completeindex \stoptext

Result 2: hello 1 <- ok world 2 It is ok but I didn't want to put text "some text" there.

Try 3: Workaround: I put a tilde "~" instead of "some text":

\starttext \section{Hello}\index{Hello} ~ <- putting the tilde here \page \index{world}world \page \completeindex \stoptext

Result 3: hello 1 <- ok, with the tilde as a workaround world 2

I don't like such tricks - is there a ConTeXt-way?

An index is bound to something, in most cases the next node (often a character) ... just try to imagine what happens when it it not bound: text <index entry node> text Where do you expect a page break? And how robust can that be implemented? Normally you woudl expect the index to be bound to the second text (think of broken lines/words). So .. the index commands tries to bind to the following text. \showstruts \index{x}\strut 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
