Re: \seeindex and processors

[Andreas Mang <mang@imt.uni-luebeck.de>]

Dear Hans & Wolfgang,

Thanks for looking into this. I know that this has quite low priority. As it seems to me processors do not really seem to provide the behaviour I had in mind. Clearly, I should have thought of a better example in the first place:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\defineprocessor[smallcaps][style=\sc]

\starttext

% this works nicely
{\sc Test}\index{smallcaps->Test}

% this is what I want it to look like
% (which does not work for \seeindex[.])
\index{{\sc Cauchy}||Problem}

% this is what I tried after you have suggested
% to use processors, but it does not work (*) 
{\sc Cauchy}||Problem\index{{smallcaps->Cauchy}||Problem}

\placeindex[n=1]

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%

(*) As you can see I am using smallcaps as an indicator for a "personal name". From looking at the code (I have to admit that I do not know anything about what's beyond the context front end) I think there's no quick solution to get this to work with preprocessors. Am I doing something wrong?

If you do not have the time to look into this right now never mind.

Sorry for the hassle.

Cheers,
Andreas
