Re: [NTG-context] tooltips and glossary
Also, is there no Context method to produce a glossary? It might be enough to produce a secondary .bib file with special entries and to print this out as a secondary "References" section, but I don't know how to do this or how to control the appearance of the printed "references".
Wolfgang Schuster:
If you read that page, you'll notice it doesn't say what the second and third arguments of \definesynonyms do, what the command \definesynonyms itself does, nor does it hint at what \infull is doing. There is certainly nothing there about using an external database. I don't see any way to use \definesynonyms for a glossary or any practical purpose for \definesynonyms at all, and the abbreviations example is obviously more trouble than it's worth. More to the point, there is nothing about tooltips. Is there a way for Context to produce tooltips in text (with invisible buttons, perhaps)?

That rambling entry is like the webpage but worse. It still doesn't say what arguments 2--4 do, why \infull is necesarry, or anything else with any clarity. It's just another bundle of bad writing concealing what may be (but probably isn't) something useful. I was thinking of something like GlossTeX: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/glosstex/glosstex.pdf I accept that Context has nothing built-in that's useful for making glossaries. That's okay, I can come up with something on my own. How about tooltips, though? Does anyone do those with Context?
