In the current General Manual section 12.7

it? Is it the same for both MKII and MKIV?
Does one run the command texutil separate from
the context command (analogous to running the
makeindex command in other versions of TeX)?
I can create an index separate from context
using a front end to makeindex that I wrote
years ago but I prefer an embedded index.
producing an (sorted) index has always been
integrated
- in mkii texexec handles it (using texutil for
all multi-pass pre- processing); the use never
had to run texutil him/herself; in fact, i once
made a replacement in Lua so that we could
avoid ruby but never finished it read: had time
to finish it
- in mkiv sorting the index is done internally
there has never been a reason for using
something makeindex

ps. texutil itself went from modula-2 to perl
to ruby ... so it's a real ancient part of
context
Thanks. Now, what is the command to be placed at
the back of the file to print the index? Section
12.7 just has a blank line after
"A register is generated and placed in your
document with"
did you consult the wiki?
