Greetings!
Although I'm a complete noob when it comes to ConTeXt, I'm a 30+ year user of
LaTeX. Recently I decided I need to go outside the box and learn ConTeXt. For
the past couple of weeks I've been exploring the documentation. I've got a
question:
I'm running ConTeXt LMTX from TeXLive 2026 on a Debian 12 VM. As a learning exercise,
I've been creating a simple "essay" document from scratch, making it more
complex as I successfully add features. I want to setup and then use a glossary. But
after searching for several days I've been unable to find documentation on a glossary
feature, nor any MWEs.
Can you point me to a source(s) of info, howtos, examples, etc.? Any pointers
much appreciated.
If you want an automatic glossary, where only referenced word appear you
need \definesynonyms (you can find an example in the wiki).
For a manual glossary where you provide a list of words for the reader
you can use \startitemize in combination with \txt for short entries or
use the description mechanism ´when you have long entries.
