Oh, I would do it another way, as processors aren't very happy with
commands which split "strings". The drawback of my quick and dirty method
is the need for additional commands, but I hope this will be useful.
\defineregister[myindex]
%Sorry for the funny names
\def\myindexspaced#1{%
\splitstring{#1}\at{ }\to\myindexoneone\and\myindexonetwo%
\myindex[\myindexonetwo,\myindexoneone]{\myindexonetwo,\space\emph{\myindexoneone}}%
}
\def\myindexcomma#1{%
\splitstring{#1}\at,\to\myindextwoone\and\myindextwotwo%
\myindex[#1]{\myindextwoone,\emph{\myindextwotwo}}%
}
\starttext
In \myindexspaced{The Observer}{\em The Observer} of 31 July 2018...
In \myindexcomma{Onion, The}{\em The Onion} of 31 July 2018...
\placemyindex%
\stoptext
Maybe someone else in the list has a cleaner alternative?
Cordially,
Jairo
