The result of \infull is always in small caps, and I don’t like that. I couldn’t find its definition in the source* nor a setup command.
It's defined in strc-syn.mkiv, lines 655-8. If you add \setupsynonyms [abbreviation] [textstyle=normal] to your file, you'll get the result as normal text. All best Thomas

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.

Might I get an answer? It’s getting urgent...
In short: \index{\SomeMacro{stuff}} orders not after the result of \SomeMacro{stuff}, but after "SomeMacro".
The same, if I use \SomeMacro within the sorting option: \index[\SomeMacro{stuff}]{stuff}.
How can I change this?

Sorry to insist, but this bug is blocking the publication of our latest book: \def\Some#1{#1} \def\Sindex#1{\index{\Some{#1}}#1} \starttext \index{Tufte}\index{Knuth}\index{Zapf} \index{Sole}\index{Some}\index{Sone} \input tufte \Sindex{Tufte} \input knuth \Sindex{Knuth} \input zapf \Sindex{Zapf} \placeindex \stoptext The generated index sorts everything that is indexed via \Sindex{} after "Some". In the book, I’m using ConTeXt’s abbreviations (synonyms) mechanism and resolve them with \infull, so that all the organizations are sorted after "infull". I don’t understand what’s going on in strc-reg.mkiv or strc-reg.lua, but I guess the problem might be in local function filtercollected - or does some interpolation take place within \index (\register[something]) itself?

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.
Regards,
Jano

Jano, you’re my saviour! Thank you so much! (I hope I didn’t overlook any serious flaws of the approach - efficiency is not so important.)

Sure, I'll check the page numbers in the register are right, especially at the page borders. Could be improved, if the printer wouldn't be knocking on the door. Jano

(1947 — 1975) why does the book ends a year before i travelled there ? ;-) .F
