it's not that trivial

for the index we can cheat a bit but then i also need to check lots of other cases for possible interference

you can try to do this:

\leftboundary\hbox{\index{foo}}....

Wow, I am quite satisfied with this solution.

Btw, I couldn't find any details for that \leftboundary command either in TeX [1] or ConTeXt [2] command references.

I've tried it just with \hbox{} and it works as well.

Couldn't this be generalized in a way - if you want protrusion even in edge cases, any inline commands have to be wrapped in \hbox{} ?

because for instance you wouldn't want to protrude into a constructed compound hyphen which is a inline construct, just as you don't want to protrude into a formula or something explicitely boxed Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
