2/ I'm using bookmarks but abbreviations in heads do not work properly. I've used a workaround some 3 years ago but I cannot remember which. Any suggestion ? (see test file below)

\appendtoks \def\UK{UK} \to \simplifiedcommands

Why doesn't

\doglobal\appendtoks\setvalue{#2}{#2}\to\simplifiedcommands

line in the definition of dodocomplexsynonym do this automatically?

Hi Aditya,

this was new to me.

You are right, this did work as expected but only when you place the definition of the abbreviation and the \placebookmarks command in the right order.

The following order in the souce works.

\abbreviation [UK] {UK} {United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}

\placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection]

The problems is, the token register \simplifiedcommands is called by the \placebookmarks command and every abbreviations, that follows after the command is ignored.

I will call this a bug. Typically, in my workflow, \placebookmark will go in the environment file (or the module) and \abbreviation will be in the main file. Hans, is there someway to make sure that this works even when abbreviations are defined after \placebookmark. Postponing to processing to everystarttext comes to mind, but I do not know how rugged that will be. Aditya
