index register justification

index register justification

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

just by chance I found this minimal example and (while showgrid) had  
a closer look at it:

\defineregister[Index][Indeces]
\showframe\showgrid
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{
boo\Index{boo} Boo\Index{Boo}
foo\Index{foo} Foo\Index{Foo}
goo\Index{goo} Goo\Index{Goo}
\page }
\placeregister[Index][align=yes]
\stoptext

Why are the lines not fully justified?
This looks not good, esp. when the entire book is set in justified  
block!

Is this a default that can be changed?

Steffen

Not really. The only 'fix' I can offer requires redefining core
macros (will send those in private email).  There is a problem,
but the solution is not exactly clear

Best wishes,
