Re: dictionary example

[jbf <roma83537@gmail.com>]

Indeed, Wolfgang, the whole idea is to use whatever head (I chose 
subsubject, but am not tied to that) to be able to get headers which 
show me the first and last item on each page, as dictionaries usually 
do. So my next question would be... is there another way I can get a 
mark entry of this kind without using heads that automatically have 
spaces before and after (which is what I tried to get rid of with my 
before=, after= keys). Could I, for example, use \getmarking with 
specifically designed paragraphs?

BTW, I can do exactly what I need to do in LaTeX (have already produced 
a working model), but I want to be able to do it in ConTeXt. Maybe the 
approach I've taken thus far is the completely wrong one, which I why I 
was wondering if someone has already produced a standard dictionary 
format with ConTeXt.
