Subject: distinguishing index entries according to function by using \setupregister
Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2014 13:39:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iooc7h60.fsf@approx.mit.edu> (raw)

In MkII, one could configure the index to have different types of page
entries, e.g. roman and italic, by using \setupregister, as in the
example at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupregister>.  That
doesn't work with a fairly recent MkIV (2014.05.17 beta).

I see that it's a long-standing feature request:

<http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg67495.html>

So, it is probably not on the short-term feature list.  But, if it is on
the list, please let me know, as I'll keep using it for my textbook!

Otherwise, I'll just make all the page entries the same style.  The
perfect is the enemy of the good, especially after 19 years...

(Right now with 2014.05.17 beta, using the feature, say as
\index[definition::]{commutativity}commutativity, gives an entry
alphabetized according to the "definition::" key.)

Regards,
-Sanjoy
