[Malte Stien]

Hi,

I got a few responses for this. Thank you to all of you. I ended up using the code below. Works a treat. And yes, apologies. The square brackets were a typo; of course they should have been curly.

Thank you again.
Malte.

not yet but they will be used for cases like this

Magic indeed!

So processors can be used *wherever* text is to be typeset,
as a prefix: name->text

\defineprocessor[name][...,...=...,...]
with keys: style=, color=, left=, right=, command=

I'm not sure that I understand, but once I do,
I'll have to add a wiki page...

in the test suite: registers/processors-001.tex

\defineprocessor[bf][style=bold]
\defineprocessor[it][style=italic]

\starttext

     \index{it->italic}\index{normal}
     This is a \index[bf->bold]{test with bold number}test.
     This is a less important \index{test}test.

     \placeindex

\stoptext

so the magic word is 'processors'

Your example above would not print the word "ducks" at all.


I commonly use:
\def\Index#1{\index{#1}#1}

There are some \Index{ducks} in the zoo.


In ConTeXt, text to be typeset typically appears within {}.
Of course, you can then modify the definition to format the text as you
wish:
\def\Index#1{\index{#1}\sc #1}

I'm sure that there is a more clever way.

Note that the \index{} command appears *before* the word, not after.
Otherwise, the word might get placed at the end of a page and the index
point to the following page. I believe that the \index{} command takes
care to avoid the opposite case.

One way is to use your own macro:

\def\MyIndex#1{\index{#1}{\sc #1}}
\starttext
There are some \MyIndex{ducks} in the zoo.
\stoptext

By the way, your \index[ducks] didn't work for me the way I thought you wanted; I changed the [] to {} and added the word to the text body.  As far as I can tell, \index only adds entries to the index register and not to the text.

Formatting Indexed Words Within the Text

[Malte Stien]

Hi all,

Is it possible to format indexed words in a particular style within the text more or less automatically. For example, if I write

  There are some \index[ducks] in the zoo.

...I would like the term "ducks" to appear in small-capitals to indicate the that term can be found in the index. Ideally, I'd like to do that without explicit manual formatting. Is that possible?

Thank you,
Malte.
