In the muse (emacs publishing) now I can write and it expands as \symbol{Aries} in 'published' ConTeXt document, so I can configure tag-mechanism to do \symbol[zodiac][Aries] as well. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient to just type 2nd option - in lyx/latex one just types \Aries. Sincerely, Gour
