Hello,
I've been trying to come up with a few methods to add definitions to
text with the help of the metafun and context manuals. The first method
adds the definition as sort of a "superscript" on top of the word, and
the second one marks multiple words with a curly bracket and adds the
definition on top of the tip of the bracket.
Here is the (ugly and hackish) code:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{defline}
path p; p:=(0,0)..controls (0,1) and (1,1)..(1,1)--(6,1)..controls(7,1)
and (7,1)..(7,2)--(7,2)..controls(7,1) and
(7,1)..(8,1)--(13,1)..controls(13,1) and (14,1)..(14,0);
draw (0,0)--(0,12pt) withcolor white;
draw p xscaled (\overlaywidth/15) yscaled 5 shifted (0,9mm) withpen
pencircle scaled 0.25mm withcolor red;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[curlybracket][\includeMPgraphic{defline}]
\def\sentencedef[#1][#2]{\setbox\scratchbox=\hbox{#2}\hbox to
\the\wd\scratchbox{\cbox{\hbox{\tfxx\color[red]
#1}\\\hbox{\framed[background=curlybracket,frame=off]{#2}}}}}
\def\worddef[#1][#2]{\setbox\scratchbox=\hbox{#2}\hbox to
\the\wd\scratchbox{\cbox{\hbox{\rotate[rotation=25]{\tfxx\color[red]
#1}}\\\hbox{#2}}}}
\starttext
\hbox{\worddef[def1][Lorem] ipsum \worddef[def2][dolor] sit
\worddef[def3][amet] consectetur \worddef[def4][adipiscing] elit.}
\hbox{\sentencedef[def5][Lorem ipsum] dolor sit \sentencedef[def6][amet
consectetur] adipiscing elit.}
\stoptext
I haven't figured a way to add the curly bracket graphic neatly nor
position the definition correctly on top of it.
I would be very interested in any advice regarding these two functions
and how to rewrite both of them in a more elegant way.
Wikifyable ...

Another solution, which might be easier to understand. This does not
affect the lineheight. Depending on the usage, that may or may not be
desirable.
