 Sometimes you can't give the ConTeXt-Command index any anchor. Think of an
 external figure on a page and nothing else, without any text. When I say, 
 for instance:
 
 \index{Brigitte Bardot}\strut
 
 I get a correct index, but an unsolicited extra empty page, too. What could

Sorry, Hans. \index{...}\null isn't the solution either: I get an unwanted 
additional empty page,
but no pagenumbers in the index. 

Regarding \setregisterentry I cannot say very much because I didn't find enough 
information 
about that topic:  I fear I have to set in advance the appropriate page numbers 
and cannot 
use ConTeXt's page number facilities.

Ok, I shall look for other solutions, thank you.

[NTG-context] Hans Hagen: an index entry needs an anchor (Mail Archive 3/19/2014)

Hi,

LaTeX index command doesn't need an anchor in order to print the page number.

Sometimes you can't give the ConTeXt-Command index any anchor. Think of an
external figure on a page and nothing else, without any text. When I say, for 
instance:

\index{Brigitte Bardot}\strut

I get a correct index, but an unsolicited extra empty page, too. What could be 
a solution?
