Hi,
I have a few questions regarding indexes.
1. \completeindex generates a numbered chapter. Is there a way to make
this unnumbered?
2. Is there a way to suppress the index when there are no index terms,
in other words, can I let Context detect whether there are index
terms? I tried \doifmode{*index}{\completeindex}, but that does not
seem to do what I want.
3. In the recent beta, which I downloaded on 11 May, \completeindex
generates an erroneous ToC entry, viz. titleindex. I traced this
back to an \xdef that does not do what it probably was meant to do:
\convertmeaning #1\to ->\bgroup \honorunexpanded \dontexpandencoding \xdef \@@g
lobalexpanded {#1}\xdef \@@globalexpanded {\@@globalexpanded }\egroup \convertc
ommand \@@globalexpanded \to
#1<-\headtext {\v!index }
\headtext ->\let \handletextprefix \firstoftwoarguments \dogetupsometextprefix
\headlanguage \c!titel
\firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1
#1<-\dogetupsometextprefix
#2<-\headlanguage
\c!titel ->\c!internal! titel
{\string}
\v!index ->index
{\xdef}
\@@globalexpanded ->\let \handletextprefix \dogetupsometextprefix titel{index}
The \let does not work well in \xdef; instead, \firstoftwoarguments is
expanded. I cannot think of a way to correct this.
Regards,
Simon

numbered sections become unnumbered when used in:
\startbackmatter
\stopbackmatter
(als also in \startfrontmatter .. \stopfrontmatter; you can guess what
happens in \startappendices \stopappendices; this is why sectionblocks are
there)

you're nearly there:
first do a trial run:
\determineregistercharacteristics[index][optional settings]
next test for a system mode:
\doifmode{*register}

hm, here the toc entry has: \headtext {\v!title}
so, you probably have turned toc-expansion on,
in lang-lab, you can change the def :
\unexpanded\def\headtext
{\let\handletextprefix\firstoftwoarguments
\dogetupsometextprefix\headlanguage\c!titel}
(so, add \unexpanded; i'll add it too, since it does not harm compatibility)
