underscore in index entry

Hi,

I tried to put _ in index entry and am unable to do it. I tried following
1. \index{_shiv} 2. \index{\type{_shiv}} 3. \index{\textunderscore{} shiv}

Please help.

Best regards,

_ is a special character for TeX. You can change this behaviour globally with
\nonknuthmode or you can escape the _ locally by using the backslash.

  \nonknuthmode
  \starttext
  \placeindex
  Hello\index{huhu}
  \stoptext

or

  \starttext
  \placeindex
  Hello\index{_huhu}
  \stoptext

both work for me.
