one entry, multiple registers

one entry, multiple registers

[Femke Snelting]

Dear list,

I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and since a few 
months we are using various TeX related packages. After many trials and 
errors we were more than happy to come accross ConTeXt and it starts to 
grow on us :-)

For the lay-out of a multi-lingual art publication we would like to 
include four registers. I've searched mailinglist, manuals and wiki but 
can't find how to add the same entry to *multiple* registers. How should 
I mark up 'carrots' to make it appear in Orange AND in Vegetable? Or is 
\Vegetable{carrots}\Orange{carrots}{carrots} really the best way?

there is no such sharing built in (for context mkiv i will probably 
provide a merge registers features)

\def\VegetableAndOrange#1%
   {\Vegetable{#1}\Orange{#1}#1}


\VegetableAndOrange{carrot}

is pretty safe
