Re: [NTG-context] Sorting of abbreviations in index

9 Oct 2017

      Hello Hraban,

have a look into the TUC file to find out, what's going on. I'm sure, Hans
would come with a more efficient approach, but this works here. Especially
the abbreviation table is probably stored on the fly somewhere, not only in
the TUC file and the table could be stored once.

Change definition to:

\def\Abk#1{\ctxlua{WriteToIndex("#1")}{\sc\lowercase{#1}}}

Add lua code to preamble:

\startluacode
function WriteToIndex (abbr)
-- test, if table exits already
if structures.synonyms.collected["abbreviation"] then
    local abbreviation_entries_table =
structures.synonyms.collected["abbreviation"]["entries"]
    local abbreviation = abbr
    local meaning = ""
    for i=1,#abbreviation_entries_table do
       local def = abbreviation_entries_table[i]["definition"]
       if def["synonym"] == abbreviation then
           meaning = def["meaning"]
       end
    end
    context.Sach(meaning .. " (" .. abbreviation .. ")")
end
end
\stopluacode

Abbreviation isn't used then (no \infull), so you need criterium=all to
display the list:
\setupsynonyms [abbreviation] [textstyle=normal,criterium=all]

Complete example attached.

Jano

So, in extension of my previous question:
I’m combining abbreviations and registers (index).
My author wants organizations listed with full name and abbreviation, and
I try to avoid many verbose entries in the text.
If I use \infull within \index, entries get sorted at i – probably a
problem of expansion. How can I solve this?
\Sach[\infull{ADN}]{\infull{ADN} (ADN)} doesn’t help.
