index formatting

index formatting

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

there is a problem with index formatting (I'm using the latest beta,  
but have no idea if this was always the case or has been introduced  
recently). My index is in two columns (the default, I believe). If an  
item has several references, the lines doesn't break, but continues  
into the margin or into column 2. Lines do break after the en-dash at  
index ranges, so it looks like the space after the comma is non- 
breakable. It's difficult to make a minimal example for that, but  
what I see is this:

Virgil 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

instead of

Virgil 1, 2, 3, 4,
    4, 6, 7, 8, 9,
    10, 11, 12, 13

Best Thomas

Hans,

just downloaded the latest beta (2006.09.13 00:41 MK II), and the  
problem is gone. Thanks a lot for taking care of it so quickly!

All best

Thomas

I also downloaded the current beta but the problem related to  
collapsing page numbers is still there.
Just comment / uncomment the marked line and watch the change in the  
third register (the one that uses the "compress=yes" key):


\starttext

\placelist[section][criterium=all]  \blank[5*big]
\placeregister[index][compress=no]  \blank[5*big]
\placeregister[index][compress=no,sectionnumber=yes]  \blank[5*big]
\placeregister[index][compress=yes] \blank[5*big]

\page
test text \index{test index}
\section{heading}
more test text \index{test index}
\section{heading}
more test text \index{test index}
%\page test text% <--- comment / uncomment this line
\page
\section{heading text \index{test index}}
more test text \index{test index}
\page
test text \index{test index}
\section{heading text \index{test index}}
more test text \index{test index}

\stoptext
