styling part of an index entry

styling part of an index entry

[jbf]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 710 bytes --]

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?

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

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!

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

Very useful!  And I'll be on the lookout for a newspaper called The 
Onion :-) one that I presume would bring you to tears.

And yes, had discovered that processors don't like split 'strings'!! But 
I would never have worked out your definition on my own, but it offers 
me ideas for other variations on the them. Many thanks
