[Reposting because I think my last message got mangled.]
Hello all.
I'm using Mk II. When I use the following setup to get dotted leaders
between an index entry and its page number:
\def\MyIndexTextCmd#1{#1\dotfill}
\setupregister[Index][n=2,textcommand=\MyIndexTextCmd,distance=1em,alternative=A]
it works okay producing output like this:
Index entry.....123
except when the entry text is just long enough to fill up the horizontal
space, pushing the number over onto the next line. What I get in that
scenario is this:
Index entry text...
123
This is no good. What I really need is for all page numbers to be at the
right hand side, with leading dots. So I'd like a solution to produce
either this:
Index entry text...
....................123
or preferably this:
Index entry
text..............123
At the moment I'm putting forced line breaks before the last word to
achieve what I need, but I would really like to automate this!
Thanks for any help, hope the issue is clear.
Duncan

[Now with a proper example!]
Hello all.
I'm using Mk II. I need to set up dotted leaders between an index entry
and its page number as show in this runnable sample:
\def\Icmd#1{#1\dotfill}
\setupregister[index][n=2,textcommand=\Icmd,distance=1em,alternative=A]
\starttext
\index{Example+This index entry doesn't quite work}\index{This is
okay}\index{Example+This is okay}\index{This index entry is not correct
at all}\index{Example+This is another example in which the leaders don't
work cos of wrapping}A little text.\par
\placeindex
\stoptext
When the entry text is just long enough to fill up the horizontal space
it is pushing the number over onto the next line. What I really need is
for all page numbers to be at the right hand side, with leading dots. So
I'd like a solution to produce either this:
Long index entry text
....................123
or this:
Long index entry
text..............123
At the moment I'm putting forced line breaks before the last word to
achieve what I need, but I would really like to automate this!
Thanks for any help, hope the issue is clear.
Duncan
