Thanks Jairo, with some tweaking I now have it working ( I had \placeindex instead of \placemyindex! And altered the 'style' name to something else as you hinted I should).

Now, this might be asking too much of ConTeXt, but some Newspaper names don't italicise the 'The', only the main name. Is it possible, do you think, to get the -> operator to work only on, say 'Observer' and not 'The', and for that matter not on the page number as well? Perhaps not, but worth asking the question anyway!

Hi. In latest LMTX (2021.01.07 16:59), your example works as expected:

\defineregister[myindex]

\defineprocessor[style][style=italic]%Isn't another name available?

\starttext

In \myindex{style->Observer, The}{\em The Observer} of 31 July 2018

\placemyindex%

\stoptext

I'm wondering if further progress has been made in Mk IV on styling parts of an index (register) entry? I have followed the explanation on the wiki, but do not seem to be able to achieve what I need.

And what I need is to be able to italicise entries that refer to newspaper names, e.g. The Observer

MWE

\defineregister[myindex]
\defineprocessor[style][style=italic]

\starttext

In \myindex{style->Observer, The} {\em The Observer} of 31 July 2018

\stoptext

The only result I am getting is:

->Observer, The   223

But what I want is Observer, The (in other words, in italics).

Clearly I am doing something wrong, or not enough, or... maybe there is another way to achieve waht I need?
