Dear all,
The book I am typesetting contains a very extensive and detailed index.
The number of index items is probably around 1200, 16 pages.
A fair number of them occur in more than one chapter.
Like bibliography items, and for the sake of consistency, I have stored
them in some auxiliary files and it is a matter of copy and paste to get
them into the text in the proper place and way. (With always a risk of
accidentally deleting or adding a spurious brace or bracket, with nasty
results.)
I wonder therefore whether it would be possible to handle them like
bibliography items, by means of a key, and leave their expansion to ConTeXt.
Would it be possible?
And if it is not (yet) possible, how could I perhaps tackle it?
so you want to remap given index entries to new ones? at what moment?
