Dear both,

thanks for your answers.

`doloopovermatch` didn't work for me but this below is achieving what I wanted.

Have a good day,

Alex

Hi,

is it possible to pass a list in a variable? I'd like to pass a list of authors:


\startchapter[title={Foo Bar}][authors={Alice, Bob}]

% PSEUDOCODE
% for author in \structureuservariable{authors}
% do print(author + '\crlf')
% done

\stopchapter


Search the wiki. Look for "Comma Separated Lists." There is a variant with an author list as an example.

You may need additional brace levels around the list entries.
I'm not sure this is on the wiki ...

\starttext

\startchapter[title={Foo Bar}][authors={Alice, Bob},AUTHORS={Bob,Alice}]

     \doloopovermatch {[^, ]+} {\structureuservariable{authors}}  {
         (#1)\crlf
     }
     \doloopovermatch {[^,]+} {\structureuservariable{authors}}  {
         (#1)\crlf
     }
     \doloopovermatch {[^,]+} {\structureuservariable{AUTHORS}}  {
         (#1)\crlf
     }
     \doloopovermatch {[^,]+} {\structureuservariable{AUTHORS}}  {
         \doloopovermatch {.} {#1}  {
             (##1)
         }
         \crlf
     }

\stopchapter

but feel free to add it.

Hans
