Dear list, I’m fiddling around with a simple apparatus for critical editions with endnotes. For now this is working ok - but I’m wondering if somebody could advise me on some aspects of it (see below). Here’s a minimal example: \newwrite\enotes \newread\readenotes \immediate\openout\enotes = \jobname.en \immediate\write\enotes{ % \noexpand\let\noexpand\stretchednormalcase=\noexpand\relax \noexpand\let\noexpand\tfc=\noexpand\relax \noexpand\let\noexpand\bf=\noexpand\relax % \noexpand\let\par=\noexpand\relax % seems to make luatex hang? } \newcount\entrycounter \entrycounter=0 \setuplabeltext[en][lines=,line=] \def\enseparator{\crlf} \long\def\appEntry#1#2{ \expandafter\startline[line:\the\entrycounter]% \expandafter\pagereference[page:\the\entrycounter]% {#1} \expandafter\stopline[line:\the\entrycounter]% \immediate\write\enotes{% {\expandafter\at[page:\the\entrycounter]}/{\noexpand\csname inline\expandafter\endcsname[line:\the\entrycounter]}~{#1}] {#2}\enseparator% }% \global\advance\entrycounter by 1\relax } \def\printendnotes{ \immediate\closeout\enotes \page[right] \expandafter\input\jobname.en } \starttext \startlinenumbering That’s a \appEntry{\bf lemma}{That’s a variant reading…}. \input tufte\crlf But then there’s a blackrule \appEntry{\blackrule[width=5cm]\crlf and a linebreak}{-- which we don’t want to repeat in the apparatus.}. \stoplinenumbering \printendnotes \stoptext Now, this is obviously a really primitive approach (I’m still learning…) which I’d like to improve in some ways: - How can I get rid of the blackrule in the apparatus? \noexpand\let\blackrule[#1]=\noexpand\relax throws an error (You can't use `macro parameter character #' in vertical mode.) while \noexpand\let\blackrule=\noexpand\relax eliminates the rule but simply prints the arguments in the square brackets. (Same holds true for every macro with arguments.) - What to do if I’d want to gobble \crlf or \par in the lemma while using them as separators after each apparatus entry? I tried to \let them to \relax, which ends in luatex getting stuck when it tries to import the .en-file. - How could I reset gobbled commands like \bf to their original meaning (I’d like to ignore \bf inside a lemma but still be able to have bold page numbers at the beginning of the apparatus entry)? I’m sure there are much more elegant ways to do this (probably in lua?), maybe someone could provide me with a hint where to start from? Thanks in advance, Daniel

You can use \simplifycommands, see my example below.

Great! Thanks a lot, Wolfgang! Yet… I have some other questions: - What about a simplified \page inside the lemma (not really common, but anyway…)? Adding \appendtoks\def\page[#1]{}\to\simplifiedcommands is ignored. - How can I tweak the note mechanism to put the apparatus notes inside one single paragraph, concatenated by some arbitrary separator (\quad or -- or something similar)? (Eventually I‘d like the lemmatas which appear on the same page to be grouped in a paragraph) - I guess it should be somewhere in strc-not.mkiv but must have missed it… Thanks again for the effort!

You use in your example “\page” without an argument while you define here \page with an explicit argument which isn’t the same for TeX. What can work is “\appendtoks\let\page\gobbleoneoptional\to\simplifiedcommands“ but i think it‘s better to solve this with a different input where you write an alternative text for the notes where none of these commands are present.
- How can I tweak the note mechanism to put the apparatus notes inside one single paragraph, concatenated by some arbitrary separator (\quad or -- or something similar)? (Eventually I‘d like the lemmatas which appear on the same page to be grouped in a paragraph) - I guess it should be somewhere in strc-not.mkiv but must have missed it…
