Two features that I like in makeindex:
1 Automatic range feature. If the same item is referenced
in three or more successive pages a page range
is created by default (This can be turned off.)
2. Multiple formats. I use the following script with
two different parameter files to produce one file to
feed back into the typesetting job and another
in plain ascii (for later conversion to rtf):
tex $1.tex
makeindex -s alpha.ist $1 -o $1.jnd
makeindex -s dummy.ist $1 -o $1.ind
tex $1.tex
dvips $1.dvi
ps2pdf $1.ps
acroread $1.pdf
AFAIK Context does not do either of these.
Best,
John Culleton
