Me again on registers. If you have an entry with just subentries and a reference (seeindex) from the main entry to an *existing* other entry, the reference is sorted at one of the subentries. I.e. in the MWE we get Fun games 1, see sample stuff 1 instead of Fun see sample games 1 stuff 1 \starttext \index{sample} \index{Fun+games}\index{Fun+stuff} \seeindex{Fun}{sample} \placeindex[n=1] \stoptext This prevents the completion of a scientific tome, so would be really nice if this could be fixed. Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
In latest beta, the error got bigger:
\starttext
\index{sample}
\index{Fun+games}\index{Fun+stuff}
\seeindex{Fun}{sample}
\seeindex{Fun}{bug} % missing!
\seeindex{Fun}{blah}
\placeindex[n=1]
\stoptext
now gives
f
Fun see blah
games , see sample
stuff
s
sample
i.e.
* multiple seeindex references from the same point are incomplete
* wrong "root" as before

The MWE
\index{sample}
\index{fun+games}\index{fun+stuff}
\index{fun}
\seeindex{fun}{sample} % with first subheading, not heading
\seeindex{fun}{blah} % shown with heading (as it should be) ONLY if
\index{fun} is commented out; otherwise it is not shown
\seeindex{fun}{humbug} % not shown
\seeindex{fun}{bug} % not shown
\seeindex{fun+games}{entertainment} % not shown
\placeindex[n=1]
shows several problems in \seeindex.
What is needed is
fun 1 *see blah, bug, humbug, and sample*
games 1 *see entertainment*
stuff 1
As Hraban has indicated, there is some urgency here. For my part, I need
x-refs for a book that I am trying to get off my plate and onto the
publisher’s; so any thoughts on this or suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.
