Problem with List of Abbreviations Dear all,
In my list of abbreviations I need different styles for different types of entry. A typical case is titles of journals, of which both the abbreviation and the full name should be slanted. I had it working, albeit with some tricks, with older versions of mkiv, up till 25-01, but with more recent versions things don’t work anymore. Also the setup-commands seem to have been changed: In recent versions the pair: definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] \setupabbreviations[textstyle=slanted,synonymstyle=slanted,criterium=all] gives en error message about an undefined control sequence.
In the following minimal example I have listed what I could find as possibilities. The top three work with older versions. In the bottom three, for the recent mkiv, both textstyle and synonymstyle remain normal. In the older versions only the abbreviation could be made slanted the way, but I could make the synonym slanted with {\em entry} , and I still could do that, but this cannot be done with the abbreviation.

%These 3 worked partly till january 2014 %\setupabbreviations[textstyle=myslant,synonymstyle=mybold,criterium=all] %\setupabbreviations[textstyle=myslant,synonymstyle=myslant,criterium=all] %\setupabbreviations[textstyle=slanted,synonymstyle=slanted,criterium=all]
%These 3 work partly in recent versions since january 2014 %\setupsynonyms[abbreviations][textstyle=myslant,synonymstyle=mybold,criterium=all] %\setupsynonyms[abbreviations][textstyle=myslant,synonymstyle=myslant,criterium=all] %setupsynonyms[abbreviations][textstyle=slanted,synonymstyle=slanted,criterium=all]
You have to use abbreviation (singular form): \setupsynonyms[abbreviation][…]
\abbreviation{MT}{The Musical Times} \abbreviation{AMw}{Archiv f\"{u}r Musikwissenschaft} \abbreviation{GMO}{Grove Music Online}
%this works \abbreviation{EM}{\em Early Music} %This doesn't %\abbreviation{\em EM}{\em Early Music}
Use the optional argument: \abbreviation[EM]{\em EM}{…} Wolfgang
