Hi Thomas.

The first [...] in the \startregister command is the name of the
register itself, then there is a second one for the sort key/range
identifier. So you want:

\startregister[index][Menippean]{Menippean}
\stopregister[index][Menippean]

and then you can have

\startregister[index][Menippean1]{Menippean}
\stopregister[index][Menippean1]

as well.

Hope that helps.

Duncan

Duncan, thanks, that helped a lot! I will add a line to the wiki with  
your explanation, if you don't mind...

Thanks, and best

Are you sure that you have defined that register (\defineregister)?

Cheers, Taco

register ranges

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

I must be obtuse, but I can't find the answer to this easy question:  
to define a register range, I was using this:

\startregister[index]{Menippean}
\stopregister[index]

and it works. However, when I try to replace [index] with my own key  
(because I have overlapping ranges)

\startregister[satire]{Menippean}
\stopregister[satire]

I get errors:
ERROR: Missing \endcsname inserted.

The control sequence marked <to be read again> should

Is there some \define something that I'm missing?
