Index entries - custom font size

Index entries - custom font size

[honyk]

Hello Everyone,

there are lot of index entries in my document and with the standard body
font size they occupy too much space. I've tried to decrease the size by the
textstyle parameter. It works, but it is applied recursively to every nested
level: secondary items are smaller twice and tertiary items three times... 

\setupregister[index][command=\Word, textstyle=small]
\starttext
\index{primary}\index{primary+secondary}\index{primary+secondary+tertiary}Te
xt
\completeindex
\stoptext

How can I set the same value to all the levels?

Thanks, Jan

The following code switches the font size for all the index content. Even
for group titles (letters), but it is beneficial here. The index title is
split to keep the original size.

\startbackmatter
\chapter{Index}
\start
\switchtobodyfont[8pt]
\placeindex
\stop
\stopbackmatter
