Dictionary Context

To make matching Dictionary entries depend on words or phrases ( context items ) in the surrounding text block (visible in the Sintelix document view).

The context items list is a space separated list of context items, each of which may be prepended with a "+" or a "-". For example:

Context items are case insensitive.

Context items operate as follows, depending on the prepended sign:

• "+" prepended items - must appear in the surrounding text block
• "-" prepended items - must NOT appear in the surrounding text block
• unprepended items - at least one unprepended item must appear in the surrounding text block

Note: that a single unprepended context item behaves the same as a "+" prepended item with the same text.

Each #cond:context command clears and supersedes the previous one.
