Fundamental change in index mechanism ?
Hi, because of a second edition I had to typeset a project from august 2006 a second time (with very, very little text changes). Then, I experienced that the register had changed (a simple \index [keyword] and \placeregister[index]). And with a closer look I saw that in the first edition the index entries also get listed in the index register when appearing also in the TOC content! Now, it was impossible for me to reproduce this: The first listed entries now came from the beginning of the actual text. Is this a know bug? (Is there already a fix for it?)

IMO, the current behaviour (as I understand it) is a bugfix for the known bug of pointlessly indexing a lookup table. Ask yourself: why would anyone want to be pointed to the table of contents from within the register? Taco

Sure, you are absolutely right (it was not my decision to typeset the first edition the way it actually was set). As far as I could see – apart from temporary workarounds (I remember troubles with columns) – all old ConTeXt files generate the same output when typeset with a current ConTeXt version. So I was just wondering that my 3 month old file generates a different output today. Steffen

if y ou provide a sample that shows the problem .. all things can be fixed since i have no intention to break downward compatibility. \placeregister[index] \page \placelist[section] \page \starttext \section{oeps \index{oeps}} \input tufte \stoptext works ok here ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
A minimal example is again not so easily written (as I don't know where the problem is). But if you don't mind I could send you the actual files privately. Steffen Am 22.10.2006 um 13:53 schrieb Hans Hagen:

\placeregister[index] \page
\placelist[section] \page
\starttext
\section{oeps \index{oeps}} \input tufte
\stoptext
works ok here
