Very useful! And I'll be on the lookout for a newspaper called The
Onion :-) one that I presume would bring you to tears.
And yes, had discovered that processors don't like split 'strings'!! But
I would never have worked out your definition on my own, but it offers
me ideas for other variations on the them. Many thanks

Oh, I would do it another way, as processors aren't very happy with
commands which split "strings". The drawback of my quick and dirty
method is the need for additional commands, but I hope this will be
useful.
\defineregister[myindex]
%Sorry for the funny names
\def\myindexspaced#1{%
\splitstring{#1}\at{ }\to\myindexoneone\and\myindexonetwo%
\myindex[\myindexonetwo,\myindexoneone]{\myindexonetwo,\space\emph{\myindexoneone}}%

\def\myindexcomma#1{%
\splitstring{#1}\at,\to\myindextwoone\and\myindextwotwo%
\myindex[#1]{\myindextwoone,\emph{\myindextwotwo}}%
}
\starttext
In \myindexspaced{The Observer}{\em The Observer} of 31 July 2018...
In \myindexcomma{Onion, The}{\em The Onion} of 31 July 2018...
\placemyindex%
\stoptext
Maybe someone else in the list has a cleaner alternative?
Cordially,

Thanks Jairo, with some tweaking I now have it working ( I had
\placeindex instead of \placemyindex! And altered the 'style' name
to something else as you hinted I should).
Now, this might be asking too much of ConTeXt, but some Newspaper
names don't italicise the 'The', only the main name. Is it
possible, do you think, to get the -> operator to work only on,
say 'Observer' and not 'The', and for that matter not on the page
number as well? Perhaps not, but worth asking the question anyway!

Hi. In latest LMTX (2021.01.07 16:59), your example works as
expected:
\defineregister[myindex]
\defineprocessor[style][style=italic]%Isn't another name available?
\starttext
In \myindex{style->Observer, The}{\em The Observer} of 31 July 2018

I'm wondering if further progress has been made in Mk IV on
styling parts of an index (register) entry? I have followed
the explanation on the wiki, but do not seem to be able to
achieve what I need.
And what I need is to be able to italicise entries that refer
to newspaper names, e.g. The Observer
MWE
\defineregister[myindex]
\defineprocessor[style][style=italic]
\starttext
In \myindex{style->Observer, The} {\em The Observer} of 31
July 2018
\stoptext
The only result I am getting is:
->Observer, The 223
But what I want is /Observer, The/ (in other words, in italics).
Clearly I am doing something wrong, or not enough, or...
maybe there is another way to achieve waht I need?
