Problem with List of Abbreviations

Problem with List of Abbreviations

[Robert Blackstone]

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.

ME:

\abbreviation{EM}{\em Early Music}
%This doesn't
%\abbreviation{\em EM}{\em Early Music}


\starttext

\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all] 

\stoptext 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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

Can you check if this gives the wanted effects:

\unprotect

\setupsimplelist
   [\v!sorting]
   [\c!headstyle=\simplelistparameter\c!synonymstyle,
    \c!headcolor=\simplelistparameter\c!synonymcolor,
    \c!style=\simplelistparameter\c!textstyle,
    \c!color=\simplelistparameter\c!textcolor]

\protect

This would have worked ok too:

\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all,headstyle=\bf,style=\bi]

These lists have become more sophisticated deep down.

You have to use abbreviation (singular form):

\setupsynonyms[abbreviation][…]

Use the optional argument:

\abbreviation[EM]{\em EM}{…}

Ok, so better not make that default then.

Yes it does, but for a mixed list it seems too general.
