Index and semicolon

[alwi]

A combination of the type

“Briefwechsel mit Frieder Gröger#index[Gröger, Frieder]; Heranführung”

suppresses the display of the semicolon. The result is

The result should be:

My solution is

“Briefwechsel mit Frieder Gröger; #index[Gröger, Frieder] Heranführung”

Why is the first solution apparently wrong?

This question has an answer here:

Why does a semicolon go missing from output when inserted directly after code expression?

from the docs If a character would continue the expression but should be interpreted as text, the expression can forcibly be ended with a semicolon (; ). Scripting – Typst Documentation. So writing #{ ...};, the semicolon directly after } is interpreted as the expression termination character.

The text in the document doesn’t apply here. I’ve solved various cases, but not this one.

caption: [... „Blättern für Pilzfreunde“ #smallcaps[(Bergt 1920)]; Kopie bei A. Bollmann]

I can’t get the semicolon to display in the correct position.

Try either of these:

caption: [... „Blättern für Pilzfreunde“ #smallcaps[(Bergt 1920)];; Kopie bei A. Bollmann]
// or
caption: [... „Blättern für Pilzfreunde“ #smallcaps[(Bergt 1920)]\; Kopie bei A. Bollmann]

The best solution was:

#index[Saupe, Gerhard]\;

or

[… „Blättern für Pilzfreunde“ #smallcaps[(Bergt 1920)]\; Kopie bei A. Bollmann]

Search & replace was my way. Thanks to everyone who contributed their ideas!
