I am wondering if there is any syntax that allows one \index{} command to define more than one entry, for example, something like this: \index{presidents+Lincoln, Abraham; Lincoln, Abraham} The result is two appearances in the index: LLincoln, Abraham Ppresidents Lincoln, Abraham Is there some syntax for making this possible, without calling \index{} multiple times? --Joel [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1421 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 493 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
