Problem with List of Abbreviations
Dear all,
In my list of abbreviations I need different styles for different types of
entry. A typical case is titles of journals, of which both the abbreviation and
the full name should be slanted.
I had it working, albeit with some tricks, with older versions of mkiv, up till
25-01, but with more recent versions things don’t work anymore.
Also the setup-commands seem to have been changed:
In recent versions the pair:
definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
\setupabbreviations[textstyle=slanted,synonymstyle=slanted,criterium=all]
gives en error message about an undefined control sequence.
In the following minimal example I have listed what I could find as
possibilities. The top three work with older versions. In the bottom three, for
the recent mkiv, both textstyle and synonymstyle remain normal.
In the older versions only the abbreviation could be made slanted the way, but
I could make the synonym slanted with {\em entry} , and I still could do that,
but this cannot be done with the abbreviation.

What could be done about this? I would prefer to work with the recent mkiv but
if necessary I can probably stick with the older version.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
