Thanks for the piece of code.

The macro is temporary - not systematic.

It should just help me to restyle some copy-pasted text from Word to .mkiv 
source.

This way, I'm just prefixing such lines with e.g. \foo, no extra job is 
necassary, just to create a valid body of the macro (\dofoo).

Hello,

how to define a macro to take the new-line character as end-of-parameter?

The following macro:

\def\T#1\par{#1}

takes everything until \par (or empty line as it equals \par primitive) as #1, 
so the following is valid:

\T abc def\par
\T abc

\T def

(#1 becomes: "abc def", "abc" and "def".)

How to define the same macro to accept end-of-line as end-of-parameter?

I tried (although I'm aware this may not lead to the goal):

\def\T#1^^M{#1}

or

\def\T#1\crlf{#1}

to allow writing:

\T abc def
\T abc
\T def

So how to define the macro?

\bgroup
\obeylines
\gdef\foo{\bgroup\obeylines\dofoo}%
\gdef\dofoo#1
  {\egroup%
   “#1”}%
\egroup

\starttext
<\foo some text

\stoptext

but don’t use it because this isn’t context style and we have
already enough exceptions with \DESCRIPTION and \item.

Wolfgang
