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.

TIA!

Kirk Lowery
