[NTG-context] whitespace inside synonym

[NTG-context] whitespace inside synonym

[Damien Thiriet via ntg-context]

Hello,

I am using the synonym mechanizm to design a glossary for my pupils.
I am stuck with this: how can I insert a whitespace inside a synonym 
definition?

What I achieved yet is:

\definesynonyms [vocabulaire] [vocabulaire] [\LaDef]
\starttext


\vocabulaire{Unionpersonnelle}{Deux États sont en union personnelle 
lorsqu’ils ont le même souverain}

\Unionpersonnelle\
\placelistofvocabulaire

\stoptext

I would like to typeset Union personnelle, without inserting a UTF-8 non 
breakable space.
I tried {{Union personnelle}}, but don't know how may I escape the space 
in the macro.
The answer may lay in lowlevel-macro, but I couldn't find it.


Happy new year everyone!

Damien Thiriet

Not sure this helps you much but there is:

\definesynonyms [vocabulaire] [vocabulaire] [\LaDef]
\starttext
\vocabulaire[UP]{Union personnelle}{Deux États sont en union personnelle lorsqu’ils ont le même souverain}

\UP\
\placelistofvocabulaire

\stoptext

Hi Bruce,


This is exactly what I was looking for! Moreover I received your answer 
exactly when I was planning to spend some time on a workaround in Lua, 
so you might have saved me some headaches…

Thanks!

Damien
