Others have replied how to define this if you want arbitrary number of parameters. But if you want something similar to \somemacro#1#2#3 you can use (the is some extra book-keeing because you want {..} as delimiters. Which means you either change catcodes, or do this shuffling around of arguments) \def\somemacro#1% {\dosomemaco[#1]} \def\dosomemacro[#1,#2,#3]% {whatever you want the macro to be} Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
