The "register" macros in Context only provide for a single level index
AFAIK so I have been looking at the use of either makeindex or Xindy
in a Context project. I have slightly modified the index.tex file
from the Texsis distribution and renamed it indexx.tex. Instructions
for use are included in the file. The command sequence is:
texexec test.tex
makeindex test.idx -o test.ind
texexec test.tex.
The test.tex file is as follows:
\input indexx.tex
\markindextrue
\starttext
Hello
\page[yes]
\idx{Frisbee}
\idx{Saucer}
\indexx{foo}
\indexx{foo!bar}
\page[yes]
\input test.ind
\stoptext
The indexx.tex file can be found at:
http://wexfordpress.com/tex/indexx.tex
Most parties seem to prefer the more capable Xindy to the old standby
makeindex. However The Xindy distribution has a program for
translating makeindex raw index files to Xindy raw index files. So the
indexx.tex macros can be used as a stopgap method now. I will work on
another version that will emit Xindy raw files natively.
Questions, comments, suggestions welcome :-)
