Re: [NTG-context] [off-list, urgent] Index design

Hi Hans,
sorry for contacting you off-list. But the publishing-house I am working for at the moment needs to know the answer to my "Index design" question today.
They have a series of books with a given index (register of keywords) designed as described below. This design was set in the past with 3B2, and now is the question: is it also possible to set it (in this strange way) with ConTeXt?
Please see my description below (hope gets it's clear):
Is it possible, in an index, not to have single letters as separators (here "a", "w") in a dedicated line, but instead only the first letter of the first entry with "a" or "w" set bold?
See this minimal example:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext \chapter{First Chapter} Some text...\index{word}
\section {First Section} Some text...\index{word} Some text...\index{another entry} Some text...\index{ansi} Some text...\index{another entry}
\page[yes] \completeindex
\stoptext
Here I would like to have only the first letter of the index entries "another" and "word" in the index to be set bold.

...well, if it's doable (looks great!) then it is needed Friday (this week) :( Steffen

I've noticed this too, after I found many examples where Hans or Taco would answer questions that I didn't even know people had! It seems that some emails (based on From: or destination address?) are delayed longer than others by the mailing list. Any ideas about what causes it? Would a few full headers showing what I mean help? -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

It happens to me as well, and it is worse on moment when there is more spam. My guess is that because spam and virus filtering are often queue-based (as a resource control measure), more mail equals longer handling time. Cheers, taco
