Index with distinguishable entries -- again

Index with distinguishable entries -- again

[Florian Grammel]

Back in april 2012 Robert Blackstone asked some questions about indexing
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg63134.html
i.a.:

> For a book in the area of musicology I would like to make one register with

His other question were resolved, but this one remained unanswered, apart from that two other users also wanted to do exactly the same thing.

I would like to do something very similar and was wondering: Has this been addressed/solved since then?


Thanks in advance!
Best,
Florian.

Perhaps the following can help. It has separate user page numbers for 
the main matter and back matter, with a suffixed ‘n’ for the items 
indexed from backmatter pages, but no suffix on the backmatter page 
numbers. The index entries for figures are rubricated and have a leading 
‘f’.

    \defineprocessor [backpart] [style=slanted,right=n]
    \defineprocessor [Figure] [style=\tf,color=red,left=f]
    \defineconversionset [backpart:pagenumber][][backpart->o]
    \setupuserpagenumber[way=byblock]
    \setuppagenumbering [location=none]
    \setupheadertexts[{\convertedcounter[userpage][numberconversionset=number]}]
    \setupnote[footnote][location=none]
    \useMPlibrary[dum]
    \starttext
    \startbodymatter
    \startchapter[title=A chapter]
       \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\index{bbb}This is
    a footnote.}
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title={Another chapter}]
       \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\index{bbb}This is
    a footnote.}
       \startplacefigure[location=default,
           title={Body illustration\index[Figure->]{ccc}}]
         \externalfigure[dummy][]
       \stopplacefigure

Thank you very much for your example -- it really helps a lot!

That’s one smart trick for the endnotes. It will do fine for my current project, but obviously it will not work for footnotes directly on the pages.
I had somehow hoped that there would be something like „if within some environment/command" to the processors. With this also the formating of the items within the captions could be done automatically.

A real problem though is that adding
\setupregister [index] [compress=yes]
will wrongly compress e.g. "aaa 1, 2, 1n“ to "aaa 1–1n“. I’ll need to use compressed ranges and would be happy with a result, where formatted numbers a subsumed under the regular ones.
You don’t happen to know how to make this work correctly, do you?

Best,
Florian.

I do not think that it is wrong in the way it reports compressed page 
numbers. The aaa entry is indeed on those consecutive pages. Add some 
blank pages (or pages without the indexed items) and look at the result.

You can use the same method I showed with indexed terms in footnotes. 
Just create another processor and use it in within the indexing command 
in the footnote, or create a new command to wrap it, as

    \defineprocessor[Footnote][style=bold,color=blue]
    \define[1]\fnindex{\index[Footnote->]{#1}}

of course, if you use the optional indexunder component already ( 
\index[as if it were spelled this way]{displayed as} ) then you will 
have to create a more complex command. (I leave that as an exercise for 
those who need it and do not want to fall back to the \index command.) So:

    \defineprocessor [backpart] [style=slanted,right=n]
    \defineprocessor [Figure] [style=\tf,color=red,left=f]
    \defineprocessor [Footnote] [style=bold,color=blue]
    \define[1]\fnindex{\index[Footnote->]{#1}}
    \define[1]\fiindex{\index[Figure->]{#1}}
    \defineconversionset [backpart:pagenumber][][backpart->o]
    \setupuserpagenumber[way=byblock]
    \setuppagenumbering [location=none]
    \setupheadertexts[{\convertedcounter[userpage][numberconversionset=number]}]
    \setupregister[index][compress=yes]
    %\setupnote[footnote][location=none]
    \useMPlibrary[dum]
    \starttext
    \startbodymatter
    \startchapter[title=A chapter]
       \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\fnindex{bbb}This
    is a footnote.}
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title={Another chapter}]
       \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\fnindex{bbb}This
    is a footnote.}
       \startplacefigure[location=default,
           title={Body illustration\fiindex{ccc}}]
         \externalfigure[dummy][]
       \stopplacefigure
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title=A third chapter]
       This is in the main body.\footnote{This is a footnote.}
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title=A fourth chapter]
       This is in the main body.
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title={Another chapter}]
       \index{aaa}This is in the main body.\footnote{\fnindex{bbb}This
    is a footnote.}
       \startplacefigure[location=default,
           title={Body illustration\fiindex{ccc}}]
         \externalfigure[dummy][]
       \stopplacefigure
    \stopchapter
    \stopbodymatter
    \page
    \startbackmatter
    \startchapter[title=An appendix]
       This is in the backmatter.\index{aaa}\footnote{\index{bbb}This is
    a footnote.}
       \startplacefigure[location=default,
           title={Appendix illustration\index[Figure->]{ddd}}]
         \externalfigure[dummy][]
       \stopplacefigure
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title=Notes]
       \placenotes[footnote]
    \stopchapter
    \startchapter[title=Index]
       \placeregister[index]
    \stopchapter
    \stopbackmatter
    \stoptext

Of course, there may be conflicts. You may index the same term twice on 
one page, once in the text, once in a footnote. Context will not choke, 
and there is a fifty-fifty chance it will default to what you want.
