Hi Robert,

This I’d like to have in Context, too.

You want the “compress” switch in placeregister, or indicate
ranges with \{start,stop}register:

········································································
\defineregister [demo] [demoes]
\starttext

\demo{Demoitem} foo
\page[yes]
\demo{Demoitem} foo
\page[yes]
%%% Here’s the range; should work without “compress”
\startregister[demo][demorange]{Demorange}
\demo{Demoitem} foo
\page[yes]
\demo{Otheritem} bar
\page[yes]
\demo{Otheritem} bar
\page[yes]
\stopregister[demo][demorange]%% <= you’ll need to explicitly terminate the ranges so they can overlap
\demo{Otheritem} bar
\page[yes]
\demo{Demoitem} foo
\page[yes]
\demo{Demoitem} foo

\page[yes]
%%%% Here’s the relevant bit:
\placeregister [demo] [compress=yes]

\stoptext
········································································

Btw. have you read the small print: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers#Tricks ?

Philipp
