change register entry separator

change register entry separator

[Jano Kula]

Hi,

any way to change register entry and subentry separator from "+" to 
something else? Preferably to kanji character, so I'm sure it will not 
appear in the text. Entries and subentries are autoflushed, so it can be 
really anything.

Other way around: I substitute "+" with " PLUS " in index terms before 
writing into the index, but which command is reading the sorted index 
entries to change it back to "+" when typesetting the sorted index on pages?

Thanks,

Jano

\setregisterentry[index]
   [entries:1=...,
    entries:2=...,
    entries:3=...,
    keys:1=...,
    keys:2=...,
    keys:3=...,
    ...

ok, not nice that it's plural but there's also the regular 'entries'

Thank you, it took me a while, to find out if this was the answer to the 
first or second question ;) Partly, because there is a bug somewhere, I 
think.

If the entry with [keys:1=blue, keys:2=red] is supposed to be sorted by 
"blue" on the first level, and by "red" on the second, it doesn't work 
as expected. Instead of keys, the entries are written into the *.tuc file.

Can you, please, have a look at the minimal example?

Thanks,

Jano



\starttext
\placeregister[index]

\blank[3*big]

\page

% works
\setregisterentry[index][entries=aaa,keys=bbb] page 2

\page

% works
\setregisterentry[index][entries:1=aaa,entries:2=bbb] page 3

\page

% doesn't work
% in *.tuc file the entries are written on both positions
%     { "aaa", "aaa" },
%     { "bbb", "bbb" },
\setregisterentry[index][entries:1=aaa,entries:2=bbb,keys:1=ccc,keys:2=ddd] 
page 4

\stoptext
