Description

\setregisterentry is more structured form of the regular \index command. With its more complex and robust structure it is suitable for automatic workflows.

When processing the command on Lua end, one has to take care of colons in the key:1 and entry:1 parameters by enclosing them inside ["..."], which is more robust form of putting key in Lua table, see example bellow.

Examples

Three levels, changes in the sorting, comma in the entry

\setupregister[index][balance=no]
