Hi all,
I have a list of speakers (and abstracts of their talk) in a rather long document, and the name of each speaker is written to a register named speakers.
Then with the command \getparameters[Talk] I get the name of each speaker and try to write it to the register with
\speakers{\TalkSpeakerName}
Indeed this does not work to obtain the result I am looking for: the sorting is indeed under the letter « t », and most importantly the register gets only the last name in the list instead of getting each speaker name.
The following is a (not so minimal…) example. Can anyone help me in this matter?
Thanks in advance for your attention and time!
Best regards: OK

You have to add \expanded, i.e. \expanded{\speakers{...}}.

When you replace \getparameters with \setvariables you can set a command
which is applied each time when you set new values.
\defineregister[speakers]
\setupregister
[speakers]
[style=sansbold,
n=2]
\startbuffer[pagetalk]
\doflushatpar
{\expanded{\speakers{\getvariable{talk}{speakername}}}%
\expanded{\pagereference[talk:\getvariable{talk}{speakername}]}}%
\starttabulate[|f{\bi}l|p|]
\NC Speaker \EQ \getvariable{talk}{speakername} \NC\NR
\NC Title \EQ \getvariable{talk}{title} \NC\NR
\NC Time \EQ \getvariable{talk}{time} \NC\NR
\NC Room \EQ \getvariable{talk}{room} \NC\NR
\HL

Hi Wolfgang,
Thank you very much for your reply and your wise advice to use the \setvariable mechanism. It is indeed much more convenient to use for what I intend to do.
The only remaining problem is that when several talks are included in my file (in the following example there three of them), then the entries to the register are correct but the associated pagenumbers are incorrect and are given the last pagenumber: in the following example all three talks are given the pagenumber 4 in the register. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks agin for your time and attention: Otared K.

I moved the link for the page number to the next paragraph because
putting the reference command into the tabulate environment hasn’t
worked but in your example the first paragraph starts on the last page.
This was necessary because the \pagereference starts a new paragraph
which results in an empty line before the table. A way to fix the page
number is to omit the \doflushatpar command, the table itself can be
moved upwards by a line with a negative vertical skip (\vskip-<dimension>).
\startbuffer[pagetalk]
%\blank
\expanded{\pagereference[talk:\getvariable{talk}{speakername}]}%
\expanded{\speakers{\getvariable{talk}{speakername}}}%
\vskip-\lineheight

\NC Speaker \EQ \getvariable{talk}{speakername} \NC\NR
\NC Title \EQ \getvariable{talk}{title} \NC\NR

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks a lot! Indeed with removing the \doflushatpar and putting the page reference out of the tabulate solves all the problems.
Have a nice day: Otared K.

Hi Hans,
Thanks for your input (which I added to the wiki), but even though it works fine as expected in the example code sent by Wolfgang, it does not work properly on the longer document I have, for some reason unknown to me…
