[NTG-context] registers in footnotes as page glossaries

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Hans,

I wonder whether MkXL may have page registers for footnotes.

This would be great to have page glossaries, such as in
https://geoffreysteadman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/lysiascrito-24aug17w.pdf#page=16
(first apparatus).

To be fair, I have asked that a while ago (with MkIV).

It would be great to have these page glossaries as language aids.

Right now, they need to be composed manually (using a word processor, no
TeX).

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Perhaps a feaseble workaround:
• place a section index after the content of the page

The cons:
• pagebreaking by sectioning manually the content of a page 


\setuppapersize[A5]

\startbuffer[buf:dict:achilles]
  He was a hero.
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[buf:dict:divine]
  Has something to do with gods and godesses.
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[buf:dict:xxx]
  The same information used multiple times.
\stopbuffer

\defineprocessor[proc:achilles][right={ \ss \inlinebuffer[buf:dict:achilles]}]
\defineprocessor[proc:divine][right={ \ss \inlinebuffer[buf:dict:divine]}]
\defineprocessor[proc:xxx][right={ \it \inlinebuffer[buf:dict:xxx]}]

\setupsection[section][placehead=hidden,aftersection=\pagebreak]

\Dict{proc:achilles->Achilles}Achilles sing, O \Dict{proc:xxx->Goddess}Goddess! Peleus’ son;
His wrath pernicious, who ten thousand woes
Caused to \Dict{proc:xxx->Achaia}Achaia’s host, sent many a soul
Illustrious into Ades premature,
And Heroes gave (so stood the will of Jove)
To dogs and to all ravening fowls a prey,
When fierce dispute had separated once
The noble Chief \Dict{proc:achilles->Achilles}Achilles from the son
Of Atreus, \Dict{proc:xxx->Agamemnon}Agamemnon, King of men.

Who them to strife impell’d? What power \Dict{proc:divine->divine}divine?
Latona’s son and Jove’s. For he, incensed
Against the \Dict{proc:xxx->King}King, a foul \Dict{proc:xxx->contagion}contagion raised
In all the host, and multitudes destroy’d,
For that the son of \Dict{proc:xxx->Atreus}Atreus had his priest
Dishonored, \Dict{proc:xxx->Chryses}Chryses. To the fleet he came
Bearing rich ransom glorious to redeem
His daughter, and his hands charged with the wreath
And golden sceptre of the God shaft-arm’d.

Many thanks for your reply, M U.

As you wrote, this is also a way of manually dealing with the page.

I’m afraid that your proposal works better with verse than with prose,
since this also affects line breaking inside the paragraph.

In any case, I wanted as an alternative to a manual task.

Notes may select the content for the page, but the missing part is to
order these notes as a (page) register.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
