[NTG-context] Synonyms: difference between mkii and mkiv?

12 Oct 2010

      Hi all,

When I typeset the following example (ConTeXt version 2010.10.11 16:59, from the Minimals)

%%% begin abbrev-test.tex
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
\starttext
\abbreviation{LCTVS}{Locally Convex Topological Vector Space}
\abbreviation{EEG} {Electroencephalogram}
\abbreviation{ERP} {Event-Related Potentials}
\abbreviation{TVS}{Topological Vector Space}

Test inshort: \inshort{EEG}, \inshort{ERP}, \inshort{TVS},

Test infull: \infull{EEG}, \infull{ERP}, \infull{TVS}, \infull{LCTVS}

\stoptext
%%% end abbrev-test.tex

with mkii I get:
	Test inshort: Electroencephalogram, Event-Related Potentials, Topological Vector Space, 
	Test infull: EEG, ERP, TVS, LCTVS

while in mkiv I get
	Test inshort: EEG, ERP, TVS, 
	Test infull: ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM, EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS, TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACE, 
	LOCALLY CONVEX 	TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACE

I mean in mkii the first command in the definition
	\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
that is \infull, is considered to be the short version of the synonyms, while in mkiv it is considered to be the long version and CAPITALIZED.

Is this a bug or a change between mkii and mkiv? 
How can one set up the command in mkiv so that it is not all CAPITALS?

Thanks for your attention: OK
