entries in registerentry

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

I don't understand the concept of entries in registerentry :o(

Say, you have this example:

\starttext
\placeregister[index]
\page
page 1
\setregisterentry[index]
 [entries:1={eins},
  entries:2={zwei},
  entries:3={drei},
  label=range]
\page
 page 2
 text
\page
 page 3
\finishregisterentry[index][label=range]
text
\stoptext


Why does only have entries:3 the index range "2-4", both entries:1 and 2 are emtpy?
What should I write in order to have all of those entries referering to the same "2-4"?

Best,
Steffen

\setregisterentry writes only one index entry and entries:1, entries:2, 
entries:3 are the levels of this entry, so \setregisterentry in your 
example is equivalent to

\index{eins+zwei+drei}

and you get

eins
   zwei
     drei <number>

Hans might have a better hint, I would write these entries three times.
