Add the following path for the moment to your document.

\unprotect

The values for the second and third argument for \mkloaddregister got lost
in the last beta, the responsible person could be found in the macro above ;-)

[NTG-context] trouble with indices

2008-02-17 Thread Jesse Alama
I've noticed that with the most recent ConTeXt release I'm unable to
make indices.  This example fails:

  \starttext
  Hello, this \index{copula}is an index.
  \completeindex
  \stoptext

The error I get is:

  chapter : 1 \headtext {index}
  ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
  \stoppacked ->\par \ifvmode \egroup 
  \ifdim \lastskip =\noparskipsignal

  \docompleteregister ...ter [\currentregister ][#2]
\page [\v!yes ]\endgroup 
\fi 
   
 \par 
  l.6 
  
  ? 

The error arises both with pdftex or xetex.  I think that some recent
change must be responsible for this, because I didn't notice any
problems with indices, say, a couple months ago.  What might be going
on?

Thanks,

Jesse
