Hi all,
Is it possible to format indexed words in a particular style within the text more or less automatically. For example, if I write
There are some \index[ducks] in the zoo.
...I would like the term "ducks" to appear in small-capitals to indicate the that term can be found in the index. Ideally, I'd like to do that without explicit manual formatting. Is that possible?
Thank you,
Malte.

One way is to use your own macro:
\def\MyIndex#1{\index{#1}{\sc #1}}
\starttext
There are some \MyIndex{ducks} in the zoo.
\stoptext
By the way, your \index[ducks] didn't work for me the way I thought you wanted; I changed the [] to {} and added the word to the text body. As far as I can tell, \index only adds entries to the index register and not to the text.

Your example above would not print the word "ducks" at all.
I commonly use:
\def\Index#1{\index{#1}#1}
There are some \Index{ducks} in the zoo.
In ConTeXt, text to be typeset typically appears within {}.
Of course, you can then modify the definition to format the text as you
wish:
\def\Index#1{\index{#1}\sc #1}
I'm sure that there is a more clever way.
Note that the \index{} command appears *before* the word, not after.
Otherwise, the word might get placed at the end of a page and the index
point to the following page. I believe that the \index{} command takes
care to avoid the opposite case.

in the test suite: registers/processors-001.tex
\defineprocessor[bf][style=bold]
\defineprocessor[it][style=italic]
\starttext
\index{it->italic}\index{normal}
This is a \index[bf->bold]{test with bold number}test.
This is a less important \index{test}test.
\placeindex
\stoptext
so the magic word is 'processors'

Magic indeed!
So processors can be used *wherever* text is to be typeset,
as a prefix: name->text
\defineprocessor[name][...,...=...,...]
with keys: style=, color=, left=, right=, command=
I'm not sure that I understand, but once I do,
I'll have to add a wiki page...

not yet but they will be used for cases like this
