[NTG-context] distinguishing index entries according to function by using \setupregister
In MkII, one could configure the index to have different types of page
entries, e.g. roman and italic, by using \setupregister, as in the
example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupregister. That
doesn't work with a fairly recent MkIV (2014.05.17 beta).
I see that it's a long-standing feature request:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg67495.html
So, it is probably not on the short-term feature list. But, if it is on
the list, please let me know, as I'll keep using it for my textbook!
Otherwise, I'll just make all the page entries the same style. The
perfect is the enemy of the good, especially after 19 years...
(Right now with 2014.05.17 beta, using the feature, say as
\index[definition::]{commutativity}commutativity, gives an entry
alphabetized according to the definition:: key.)

hm, it's already an old (mkiv) feature

we have a better and mnore powerful mechanism now
\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
(see test suite registers/processors*)

I didn't even see that material on the Registers wiki page, because I stopped looking after seeing the \setupregister command help. But I've updated that help to refer (for MkIV) to the Registers#Processors section. -Sanjoy ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
