Subject: \index versus makeindex.
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:38:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200807181338.13462.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
Usually I use makeindex for indexing but for my current job I thought
the Context \index command would be convenient. However I discovered
that the \index command does not provide for page ranges. If I index
the same item on pages 46, 47, 48, and 49 makeindex will collapse
this into a range of 46-49. Context won't.
I looked at the book.tuo file but it does not look like something I
can hand-modify.
Is there a work-around I have missed or must I revert to makeindex to
get a proper index?
I am ccing Hans because my posts don't seem to make their way to the
list for some reason. Perhaps Comcast has torpedoed me once again.
