Thank you, Malte.

One way is to use your own macro: \def\MyIndex#1{\index{#1}{\sc #1}} \starttext There are some \MyIndex{ducks} in the zoo. \stoptext By the way, your \index[ducks] didn't work for me the way I thought you wanted; I changed the [] to {} and added the word to the text body. As far as I can tell, \index only adds entries to the index register and not to the text. ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

in the test suite: registers/processors-001.tex \defineprocessor[bf][style=bold] \defineprocessor[it][style=italic] \starttext \index{it->italic}\index{normal} This is a \index[bf->bold]{test with bold number}test. This is a less important \index{test}test. \placeindex \stoptext so the magic word is 'processors' ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
