Folks, Just wanted to send the following patch, requesting inclusion to ConTeXt. It adds support for headstyle option in \setupsynonyms by passing it to \definedescription. Maybe the \style option of \definedescription could be set by an additional option for \setupsynonyms as well, but as I am currently satisfied with the result in my document, I didn’t care yet. Thanks for considering, - Matthias --- core-syn-old.tex 2008-08-12 15:35:08.593750000 +0200 +++ core-syn.tex 2008-08-12 14:55:03.843750000 +0200 @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ \c!inbetween=\synonymparameter\c!inbetween, \c!after=\synonymparameter\c!after, \c!indentnext=\synonymparameter\c!indentnext, - \c!headstyle=, + \c!headstyle=\synonymparameter\c!headstyle, \c!style=]% \setupwhitespace[\v!none]% %doutilities{#1}\jobname{#2}\relax\par % no longer \par @@ -195,7 +195,7 @@ \fi \dosetupsynonyms [#1]% - [\c!synonymstyle=,\c!textstyle=, + [\c!synonymstyle=,\c!textstyle=,\c!headstyle=, \c!state=\v!start,\c!criterium=, \c!location=\v!left,\c!width=5em,\c!distance=0pt, \c!sample=,\c!hang=,\c!align=, @@ -422,6 +422,7 @@ [\v!abbreviation] [\c!textstyle=\v!capital, \c!synonymstyle=, + \c!headstyle=, \c!textcolor=, \c!synonymcolor=, \c!location=\v!left,
