1 Automatic range feature. If the same item is referenced in three or more successive pages a page range is created by default (This can be turned off.) 2. Multiple formats. I use the following script with two different parameter files to produce one file to feed back into the typesetting job and another in plain ascii (for later conversion to rtf): tex $1.tex makeindex -s alpha.ist $1 -o $1.jnd makeindex -s dummy.ist $1 -o $1.ind tex $1.tex dvips $1.dvi ps2pdf $1.ps acroread $1.pdf AFAIK Context does not do either of these.
