mkiv and Reverse list of abbreviations

mkiv and Reverse list of abbreviations

[Otared Kavian]

Hi everyone,

I have three questions regarding the use of abbreviations in mkiv: it seems that there is a difference between the way in which mkii and mkiv treat the definitions of synonyms.

If one considers the minimal example:

% ----- begin abbrev-test.tex

\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]

\starttext
\abbreviation{LCTVS}{Locally Convex Topological Vector Space}
\abbreviation{EEG} {Electroencephalogram}
\abbreviation{ERP} {Event-Related Potentials}
\abbreviation{TVS}{Topological Vector Space}

Test inshort: \inshort{EEG}, \inshort{ERP}, \inshort{TVS},

Test infull: \infull{EEG}, \infull{ERP}, \infull{TVS}, \infull{LCTVS}

\completelistofabbreviations

\stoptext
% ----- end abbrev-test.tex

my questions are the following:

1) How can I tell mkiv that I want \infull{EEG} result in Electroencephalogram not in "ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM"?

2) It seems that the order in which \infull and \inshort are defined in
	\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
is different in mkii and in mkiv: is this observation correct?

3) Is it possible to obtain, beside the list of abbreviations, another ordered list in which the full variant is in the first column while the short variant is in the second column? That is something like:
	\completeReverseListOfAbbreviations
resulting in

	Electroencephalogram		EEG
	Event-Related Potentials		ERP

	Locally Convex Topological Vector Space		LCTVS

	Topological Vector Space		TVS

Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

Best regards: OK

I need to check it (no time right now) as there is no reason for it not 
to be compatible

remind me to make it configureable (not that hard)
