Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
A concise solution that I found would work was to define a "shorthand"
citation alternative and just print the shorthand with that:
```
% Shorthand citation setup
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:shorthand
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand}
\endgroup
\removeunwantedspaces
\removepunctuation
\stopsetups
...
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\textcite[alternative=shorthand,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}{\textcite[alternative=listsubcite,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}}
```
Again, this works, although I'm still not sure why
invoking \texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand} directly doesn't.

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Interestingly, if I remove the contents of the btx:sbl:inline:shorthand
command and paste them inline as the third argument of \abbreviation, then
it works as expected:
```
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\btxdoif{shorthand}{\doifinsetelse{\btxflush{type}}{plainttitle,
plainshorthand}{\btxflush{shorthand}}{\btxstartstyleandcolor[sbl:\s!list:title:\currentbtxcategory]\btxusecommand[sbl:\s!list:title:\currentbtxcategory]{\btxflush{shorthand}}\btxstopstyleandcolor}}}{\textcite[alternative=listsubcite,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}}
```
But obviously, this is much less readable. So if there is a more concise
solution that applies expansion control to
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand}, I'd love to know it!
Thanks!

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Okay, I had a follow-up question sooner than I thought! Enclosing the
\abbreviation command doesn't quite work when I want to typeset the
abbreviated form with a \texdefinition, as follows:
```
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:doifownfield} {shorthand} {
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand}}{\textcite[alternative=listsubcite,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}}
}
```
Thankfully, everything else gets rendered as expected. But why is the
\texdefinition not expanding? If it helps, I've included it below:
```
\starttexdefinition btx:sbl:inline:shorthand
\btxdoif {shorthand} {
% If the entry is of type plaintitle or plainshorthand, then do not
apply formatting to its shorthand
\doifinsetelse{\btxflush{type}}{plainttitle, plainshorthand} {
\btxflush{shorthand}
} {
\btxstartstyleandcolor[sbl:\s!list:title:\currentbtxcategory]
\btxusecommand[sbl:\s!list:title:\currentbtxcategory]{
\btxflush{shorthand}% set the shorthand according to the current
category
}
\btxstopstyleandcolor
}
\btxcomma
}
\stoptexdefinition
```
Do I have to apply expansion control somewhere else or in some other way?

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
All right, I think I see what I did wrong; I just needed to enclose the
whole \abbreviation command in an \expanded command as follows:
```
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:short
...
\btxdoif {shorthand} {
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\btxflush{shorthand}}{\btxflush{title}}}
}
...
\stopsetups
```
It looks like passing the macro \currentbtxtag as the tag for the
abbreviation works fine. And if I redefine the abbreviations synonyms list
as follows, I can use \inshort[\currentbtxtag]:
```
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
```
I'll add more to the thread if I run into any problems making this more
complex!

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
(Quick note for anyone following this thread: I've figured out how to
implement different typesetting rules for list, inline, and short-form
citations; you can see how I've done this in the publ-imp-sbl.mkvi file in
the https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl repository.)
I have another question related to abbreviations/synonyms in connection
with bibliographies. When a bibliographic entry has a "shorthand" field and
I cite it using \cite[alternative=short], I would like to add its shorthand
to the abbreviations list, with a longer citation as its "in-full" form. My
first thought was that I could accomplish this with something like the
following:
```
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:short
...
\btxdoif {shorthand} {
\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\btxflush{shorthand}}{\btxflush{title}}
}
...
\stopsetups
```
But even if I invoke \placelistofabbreviations with the "criterium=all"
option, nothing appears in the list.
In some ways, this issue is related to the now-resolved issue "Which way to
type greek letters in synonym list?" from 2010. The problem is that in this
case, I have to use a macro even in the first input to \abbreviation (in
brackets), because I don't know what it is in advance. In addition, if the
second and third inputs to \abbreviation (in curly braces) are not expanded
until the list is printed, then they will be empty/undefined at the time
when they are needed.
I'm not as familiar with how to deal with expansion problems, so I could
use someone's expertise here. Is there a simple way to define an
abbreviation using the expanded values of macros as above? And is there a
way to invoke an abbreviation/synonym at this level of abstraction?
(Something like \inshort[\currentbtxtag]?)
Thanks!
