I am adding items to an index simply using `\index{word}`.

There are a few cases where instead of printing just the page number where `\index{word}` is placed, I need the entire page range for that chapter to be displayed. For instance, if Chapter 3 spans page 22-50, and I place `\index{word}` in Chapter 3, I need the index to display "word 22-50", but only for that entry...not for all index entries.

How to add entire chapter's page ranger for index entry?

You need to use

\startregister[index][some code]{Entry}
... chapter content ...
\stopregister[index][some code]

\startchapter[title={My chapter title}]
\startregister[index][anIdentifier]{word}

\stopregister[index][anIdentifier]
\stopchapter
