Which way to type greek letters in synonym list?
Dear All, I am setting up the synonym list. I defined it as "nomenclature" \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature] [criterium=all,location=serried] when i type in someting like \nomenclature{A} {Area} it works. But if I type \nomenclature{$\alpha$}{Angle of something} it fails. The reason may be only text could be used. I found the list is sorted alphabetically. Then if I type a greek letter, the compiler does not konw how to sort it.

This will fail because to create a macro \alpha which expands to \alpha ... Use uppercase letter to prevent this, when your font contains greek you can also use a text alpha, e.g. \abbreviation[ALPHA]{α}{Angle of something} \setupbodyfont[termes] \starttext \ALPHA \stoptext Wolfgang
Thanks to Andreas and Wolfgang, That's true. The uppercase letter works, the lowercase method complains. On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 12:03 AM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:
