One possible solution I see, since the textbooks and workbooks share the same
macros, formatting, fonts, etc. is to just render them as a single file,
resetting the page number at the start of each new book, then later use pdfjam
to split the files, but I'm not sure how the index could tell readers which of
the five "page 5's" (for example) the index is referring to. --Joel

I am writing a secondary textbook to be used in public schools. In my state,
the textbooks must adhere to standards, such as the Common Core State Standards
(CCSS). It is typical for a textbook to contain an index for teachers to check
where in the textbook which standards are used. I've used the following code to
create such an index, if I simply place `\learned{}` somewhere containing the
standard's ID, it creates a custom index entry, and `\placelearned` displays
that index.
\defineregister[learned][compress=yes]
\setupregister[learned][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=1, pagenumber=yes]
\starttext
\learned{CCSS+W.7.3}
\input knuth
\learned{CCSS+W.7.3}
\input knuth
\learned{CCSS+W.7.1}
\startchapter[title=Standards]
\placelearned
\stopchapter
\stoptext
This prints an index like this:
Standards
c
CSS
W.7.1 1
W.7.3 1
My problem is my textbook also includes four separate workbooks. I need the
index to show my publisher that I've covered all 300+ standards, so I need the
index at the back of the textbook to also contain details of which pages in
each workbook the standards are found. How can I combine the index so it refers
to all books? Something like this:
Standards
c
CSS
W.7.1 T 1, Wk.1 3-8, 12, Wk.2 8-9, 60-61
W.7.3 T 1, Wk.1 3-8, 12, Wk.2 8-9, 60-61, Wk.3 1-2, 54, 70, 90, Wk.4 99,
102, 104
...or possibly like this...
Standards
c
CSS
W.7.1
Textbook: 1
Workbook 1: 3-8, 12
Workbook 2: 8-9, 60-61
W.7.3
Textbook: 1
Workbook 1: 3-8, 12
Workbook 2: 8-9, 60-61
Workbook 3: 1-2, 54, 70, 90
Workbook 4: 99, 102, 104
Is there any way to print an index that covers pages across multiple books?
