Hi,

in my document I use utf-input. So do the index-marks:

\enableregime[utf]

\starttext

START\startregister[index][umlautä]{Umlaute&– ä}

\input knuth

END\stopregister[index][umlautä]

\placeregister[index][compress=yes]

\stoptext

Just, this can't be typset:

! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \char \dochar #1->\char #1\relax \setgvalue #1->\expandafter \gdef \csname #1 \endcsname \dostartregister ... \setgvalue {\??id #1\??id #2} {\dodostopregister [#1][#3... l.5 ...rtregister[index][umlautä]{Umlaute&– ä}

?

UTF in maintext but not in index-marks ...

What can be done now (besides re-writting the document)?

\startregister[index][umlautae]{...} ... \stopregister[index][umlautae]

You could use umlauts in macro names only with XeTeX and LuaTeX but not with pdfTeX.

strange... sure, you are right: no umlaut in macro names. only, I didn't consider it as a macro name, for it is written in the text (ie. the original doc-file) by the author, and thus in my consideration part of the text. some kind of hybrid, no? but as using pdfTeX can be totally avoided in near future it's all right with me.
