exploring register options

exploring register options

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Can someone tell me, if the following options of \setupregister are  
supposed to have some effect (I couldn't see any):

style (pagestyle and textstyle work)
command (pagecommand and textcommand work)
location
(Just fixed the texshow description.)

I didn't check those (also undocumented):

expansion
maxwidth
unknownreference

I wonder who needs alternative b or B: the indicator (index letter)  
just in front of the first word without any distance is just ugly IMO  
and decreases readability.
Other styles (alternatives) would probably make more sense, like  
right-aligned (flushleft) page numbers - how can I do that?

Hraban,

I'm relatively new to ConTeXt, but I did stumble on a way to get right-aligned 
page numbers.

\def\MyIndexTextCmd#1{#1\hfill}
\setupregister[index][textcommand=\MyIndexTextCmd]

Arrgh! I tried only {\hfill #1}...
Thank you very much!

But otherwise I'm a bit disappointed to get no answer to my other  
questions (I only wanted to complete the information on texshow/wiki):

Set the maximum length for the text of the index entry in the
registerlist, the command use \limitatetext to do this

>  >> unknownreference

insert a horizontal space before and after the reference in the text
if you use interactive mode to move from one entry in the text to
next or previous one and there is no previous or next reference.

Not sure about this, not tested and only guessed from the source.
