Inline descriptions and automatic sorted glossary entries

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Scott Lovell on September 26, 2021

Is there any way to get definedescription & setupdescriptions to not only produce the inline description, but also an entry in a sorted glossary? Perhaps with before= & after= to add the commands for the glossary?

One Answer

Other than needing to resolve some "normal" formatting issues, I've found a solution....

setuppapersize[letter]
setupexternalfigures[location=default]
setupwhitespace[medium]

definedescription[conceptdesc][alternative=serried,headstyle=bold,width=broad]

definesynonyms[conceptsyn][concepts][expandconcept]
setupsynonyms[conceptsyn][width=4cm, criterium=all]

defconcept#1#2%
{
conceptsyn{#1}{#2}
index{#1}
conceptdesc{#1}#2par
}

kidnapped by friends.

In computer software, an application binary 
interface is an interface between two binary program modules; often, one of these modules is a library or operating system facility, and the other is a program that is being run by a user.
