Hello experts,

Is there a way to generate an entry without a page number in an register 
that has page numbers enabled? This would enabled /See also/ entries to 
be generated with something like

    \setregisterentry[TopicIndex][keys:2=zzz,entries:1=punctuation,entries:2={{\em
    See also} marking}]%

I do see that there is an alternative key defined for the command, but 
no explanation of what the alternatives are and if any would help.

You have to set "ownnumber=yes" but I don't think the feature is 
supported at the moment (or I failed to set the correct values) but you 
can use the following method to get rid of the pagenumber.

%%%% begin example
\defineregister
   [TopicIndex]

\defineregister
   [SeeTopicIndex]
   [TopicIndex]
   [pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]

\starttext

\samplefile{lorem}
\setregisterentry[TopicIndex][entries:1=punctuation]%
\samplefile{lorem}
\setregisterentry[SeeTopicIndex][entries:1=punctuation,entries:2={{\em 
See also} marking}]%
\samplefile{lorem}

\placeregister[TopicIndex,SeeTopicIndex][n=1]

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Thank you, Wolfgang.

With a little fine tuning I think I have what I need to generate an 
index that is compliant to the Chicago 17 and 18 requirements, at least 
for this book.

I did not realize that \placeregister[register1,register2...] merges the 
registers. That is not the case with \placenotes[anotes,bnotes...], 
which sets the notes serially.

If \placenotes[anotes,bnotes...] had an option to merged the registers, 
I might have a solution to the issue I raised at the end of August 
(Inserting text between end notes). Of course, this might also require 
fixing the bug I described when note numbers are suppressed (Problem 
with end note processing, also at the end of August).
