Many thanks for your answer. Should the thumb index be in the body text? Or be
a margin text?
While I don’t really understand your question:
– A thumb index usually depends on the part or chapter (here it’s the
part, obviously) and stays the same within that section.
– Its setup should probably be triggered by \setuphead or maybe
\setupheader, but there’s nothing ready-made and there are several
approaches possible.
– The colored area must “bleed” over the edge of the paper (usually 2–3
mm), i.e. you must use the second parameter of \setuppaper for the sheet
size.
– It makes sense to use a layer for placement and a \framed for the box,
i.e. \setlayerframed.
– It makes sense to use the "edge" area for the placement of a thumb
index, but if you use a layer, you can also place the box freely on a
full-page layer.
