I agree that ConTeXt-only solution would be terrific since it will provide
better mechanism for extension & easier maintainance.
However, main reason why I had to switch to Xindy (over makeindex) was handling
of my national alphabet (Croatian) as well as ability to define my sort order -
for Sanskrit transliteration.
For example, here is the part of my xindy file which handled Sanskrit
diacritics for LaTeX:
(define-rule-set "resolve-sanskrit-diacritics"
:rules (("\\={(a)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\={\\i}" "i" :bregexp :again)
("\\={I}" "I" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(r)}" "ri" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(t)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(T)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(d)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(n)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
...
))
This snippet just resolve sanskrit diacritics and sort them according to their
Latin (or Croatian) counterpart chars without accent.
It would be wonderful to be able to do such things with ConTeXt only.
Sincerely,
Gour
