A similar question has been asked three years ago, and Rik Kabel posted
a partial solution, adapted here:
\defineprocessor [Footnote] [right={ n}]
\define[1]
\fnindex{\index[Footnote->]{#1}}
\starttext
This is a sentence with a term in the index: cat\index{cat}. This
sentence also has an indexed term, dog\index{dog}, as well as a
footnote.\footnote{The footnote also contains an indexed term,
mouse.\fnindex{mouse}}
\page
\placeregister [index]
\stoptext
And about a year ago, Hans made a different suggestion to my own
question; however, I didn't realize then that it was not what I was
looking for:
\starttext
Test1: \index{cat}cat.
\footnote{Test2: \index{mouse}mouse.}
\footnote[note:cat]{Test3: \index[cat]{cat in \in{note}[note:cat]}cat.}
\page
\placeregister [index]
\stoptext
This creates two index entries for cat, which is not the intended result.
My questions are:
1. I would like to have the footnote number appear in the index, so it
says something like "cat 1 n. 1." Is that possible?
2. Is it necessary to define an extra command for index entries in
footnotes? Is context clever enough to know that it's processing a
footnote, so one could write a condition such as (pseudocode):
\define [1]
\myindex
{\infinfootnoteelse
{\index[Footnote]->{#1}}
{\index{#1}}}
Thanks a lot, have a good Sunday!
