Not with framedtext but you define your environment with a optional argument. ConTeXt has the command \definestartstop but it did not help in your case, something like LaTeXs \newenvironment, I wrote a simple version below. \unprotect \def\????ev{@@@@ev} \def\environmentparameter#1% {\csname\????ev\currentenvironment#1\endcsname} \def\defineenvironment {\dodoubleempty\dodefineenvironment} \def\dodefineenvironment[#1][#2]% {\getparameters [\????ev#1] [\c!before=, \c!after=, #2]% \setvalue{\e!start#1}{\dodoubleempty\dostartenvironment[#1]}% \setvalue{\e!stop #1}{\dostopenvironment}} \def\setupenvironment {\dodoubleargument\dosetupenvironment} \def\dosetupenvironment[#1][#2]% {\getparameters[\????ev#1][#2]} \def\dostartenvironment[#1][#2]% {\bgroup \edef\currentenvironment{#1}% \ifsecondargument \setupenvironment[\currentenvironment][#2]% \fi \environmentparameter\c!before} \def\dostopenvironment {\environmentparameter\c!after \egroup} \protect \defineframedtext [CenteredTextFrame] [width=fit, location=middle] \defineenvironment [CenteredText] [before=\startCenteredTextFrame\startlines, after=\stoplines\stopCenteredTextFrame] \starttext \startCenteredText[text={This is a test}] My own parm is: \environmentparameter{text} \stopCenteredText \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
