\definesynonyms
Syntax
\definesynonyms[...][...][...][...] | |
[...] | singular |
[...] | plural |
[...] | command |
[...] | command |
Description
The first bracket pair contains the singular form of the synonym, and the second contains the plural form. The third bracket pair contains a command.
For example the command \abbreviation is defined by:
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull] \setupsynonyms[style=cap]
Now the command \abbreviation is available and can be used to state your abbreviations:
\abbreviation{ANWB}{Dutch Automobile Association} \abbreviation{VVV}{Bureau of Tourist Information} \abbreviation{NS}{Dutch Railways}
If you would type:
The Dutch \VVV\ (\infull{VVV}) can provide you with the tourist information on Hasselt.
You would obtain something like this:
The Dutch VVV (Bureau of Tourist Information) can provide you with the tourist information on Hasselt.
If you want to put a list of the abbreviations used in your document you can type:
\subject{Abbreviations} \placelistofabbreviations
or with automatic chapter
\completelistofabbreviations % only ones used in the text \completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all] % this prints even the unused
Example
\definesynonyms[test][tests][\infull] \setupsynonyms[test][criterium=all] \test{ITU}{International Telecommunication Union} \test{MID}{Maritime Identification Digit} \test{Ch}{Switzerland} \starttext The \ITU\ is an organisation in \infull{Ch} \subject{Short is nice} \placelistoftests \stoptext
looks like this:
