index questions - again

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi,

I'm sorry, this is the third time I'm asking this question, but I  
haven't been able to solve this, and the book is going to the  
publisher next month, so it's kind of urgent (I will sulk in Epen if  
this doesn't work :-)

1. I need to define a special type of register that will typeset page  
ranges in bold. I have a subindex that does that for single entries:

\setupregister[index][imp][pagestyle=bold]

which I invoke like

\index[imp::]{modernity}

and it works. How can I have the same thing for ranges?

2. Another index question: I have several seeindex entries. They  
work, but the publisher doesn't want a linebreak, and they want "see"  
in italics. SO instead of

lisible
    see readerly

they want

lisible *see* readerly

Can this be configured, or can I hack core-reg.tex (and how?).

Best, and thanks

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

as Hans is probably too busy to write the perfect patch right now
maybe meanwhile a hack will do ?

Thanks Steffen, I just tried it, and it works indeed! Not an elegant  
solution, for sure (my tuo file has ~3,600 lines, so editing it is a  
bit painful), but would do as a last ditch attempt.

Thanks

OK, I tried a hack, and I just wanted to ask if there's anything  
wrong with it: as dirty workaround, I added a fourth key to  
dostartregister:


\def\startregister
   {\doquadrupleempty\dostartregister}

\def\dostartregister[#1][#2][#3][#4]#5%
   {\chardef\registerpagestatus\plustwo
    \def\currentregister{#1}%
    \setgvalue{\??id#1\??id#2}{\dodostopregister[#1][#3]{#5}}%
    \dodoregister[#3]{#4}{#5}}

and after a quick test, this seems to do what I want. The endash  
between numbers is not bold, but I could live with that. Any comments  
from the developers?

Any chances to know more about this?

looks harmless to me so we can patch that 

can you also provide the appropriate cont-en.xml entry

Hmm, I'm not quite sure I'm doing the right thing. I thought I could  
have 4 arguments in []:

\startregister[name of register][key for range][type of register] 
[sort key]{register entry}

but the [sort key] doesn't seem to work. The hack is OK for me now,  
but it may not be good for the distribution.


> can you also provide the appropriate cont-en.xml entry


Would like to, but comparing "register" to "startregister," I don't  
see anything that has to be changed?


<cd:command name="register" generated="yes" file="core-reg.tex">
   <cd:sequence>
     <cd:variable value="register"/>
   </cd:sequence>
   <cd:arguments>
     <cd:keywords optional="yes">
       <cd:constant type="cd:text"/>
     </cd:keywords>
     <cd:index list="yes"/>
   </cd:arguments>
</cd:command>

<cd:command name="startregister" generated="yes" file="core-reg.tex">
   <cd:sequence>
     <cd:string value="start"/>
     <cd:variable value="register"/>
   </cd:sequence>
   <cd:arguments>
     <cd:keywords optional="yes">
       <cd:constant type="cd:text"/>
     </cd:keywords>
     <cd:index list="yes"/>
   </cd:arguments>
</cd:command>

Thanks so much, this seems to be doing exactly what I want! Now my  
index is almost perfect...

Thanks
