Hello,

please take a look at the output of the code appended. I'm plagued by incorrect white space around the output: to much before and after the expanded '\infull' and short versions. How to remedy that?

Thanks ... it sure took me a while to find the '\executeifdefined' tidbit ...

Joh

% setup 'synonymes' list called 'abbreviations' \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull]

% give out in the list the ones used \setupsynonyms[abbreviation][criterium=used]

% <abbreviations/> calls the completelist as a 'chapter' \defineXMLargument [abbreviations] {\expanded{\completelistofabbreviations}}

% abbreviations are defined as follows \defineXMLenvironment [abbreviationdev] [key=] { \defineXMLsave[short] \defineXMLsave[full] } { \abbreviation [\XMLop{key}] {\XMLflush{short}} {\XMLflush{full}} }

% abbreviations are recalled like this (short version is the default) \defineXMLargument [abbreviation] [key=,opt=short] { \doifelse{\XMLop{opt}}{full} {\infull{\XMLop{key}}} {\executeifdefined{\XMLop{key}}} }
