seeindex: accents and such

seeindex: accents and such

[Andreas Mang]

Dear all,

I have some minor problems with \seeindex

It seems that it does not render accents properly nor is it possible to introduce commands. Is this an intended behavior, am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

Cheers,
Andreas

Minimal example:

\setupregister[index]
[
style={\bf\WORD},
balance=yes
]

\starttext

% seeindex does not render ssharp properly
Wei{\ssharp}wurst\index{Wei{\ssharp}wurst}\seeindex{German sausage}{Wei{\ssharp}wurst}

% same holds for accents
M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier\index{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier}\seeindex{good beer}{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier}

% switching font style
{\sc Test}\index[Test]{\sc Test}\seeindex[Test]{Testing}{\sc Test}

\completeindex
	 
\stoptext

Why don’t you use “ü” and “ß” in your document?

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks. That's truly an option. I have already looked into this and it works. As a matter of fact, this is what I decided to do if there is no quick fix. However, I thought I'd point it out, since it works for \index and just not for \seeindex. Secondly, the \sc (command) issue persists. 

Thirdly, once upon a time I have opened my tex files on a foreign machine and I realized that all accents were screwed. This was the day when I decided to become even more paranoid and by that not to use "ü" and friends in my source files. Maybe I should stop being paranoid, since all people around me seem to be using accents...

Cheers,
Andreas

MkIV provides a new mechanism to format index entries called processors, it doesn't work yet with \seeindex (see my other mail on the list) but I guess Hans will fix this in one of the next betas.

\defineprocessor[sc][style=\sc]

\starttext

Test\index{Test}\index{sc->Testing}

\completeindex

\stoptext
