Please note that no math mode has to be used here as that is taken care of in the definition. % Nor for the diameter \Dia. And just using the list of nomenclatures again: \placelistofnomenclatures Produces a list (sorted) of all or all used 'nomenclatures'. See also the section about abbreviations in the ConTeXt handbook. There is also the \type{...register} suite of commands if page entries etc.\ are more what is needed. \stoptext Cheers Carsten Am 12.02.2009 um 21:00 schrieb Michael Bynum: > I haven't been able to find any documentation about producing a > nomenclature section in a document using context.
