Thank you – it’s not only a German habit, even if we pronounce it “folgende”, “f.” stems from Latin “folio”, and “ff.” is a duplicated abbreviation, as was usual in mediaeval Latin. So, this is at least used in English, German, Norwegian and Swedish, as far as I could find. In French they seem to use “sq.” and “sqq.” (sequens). https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/ff. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ff. https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/sq. I suggest the following setup options: compress = no —> don’t collapse (as now) compress = yes —> always use – (as now) compresssymbols={\,f.,\,ff.} (or how can you setup a list?) compress = symbols —> use first symbol for one other page, second for more pages if there’s only one symbol, more than one sequential page should use – (like “yes”) Is this feasible? As far as I see, we need this only for index entries, i.e. \setupregister, since there’s no command like \at for more than one page anyway; or is there a need to collapse pages in bibliographies? Test case: \usemodule[visual] \setuppapersize[A6] \setupregister[index][ compress=yes, %compresssymbols={\,f.,\,ff.}, %compress=symbols, ] \starttext \placeindex\index{nonsense} \page \strut\index{something}\page \strut\index{something}\page \dorecurse{7}{ \fakewords{10}{100}\index{something}\par \fakewords{20}{200}\index{other}\par \fakewords{10}{100}\index{something}\par } \index{finis} % not flushed? \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
