[NTG-context] Define a new command that inherits from multiple other command options

[ai2472206007]

hi!

I'm new to ConTeXt. I want to define a command with sidenote function. This 
[setupsidenote] command inherits the options of [setupmargindata], 
[setupcounter] and [setupframed]. just like [setupenumeration] inherits the 
option of [setupcounter].

I've defined the following sidenote command by searching, and I know how to 
define a new option for it. But what I don't know is how to get it to inherit 
the options of other commands and perform these features correctly.

Any clue is warmly welcome.

```
% macros=mkvi
\unprotect
\installnamespace  {sidenote}
\installcommandhandler \sidenote  {sidenote}  \sidenote
\setupsidenote[
   align=,
   conversion=n,
   way=bytext,
   style=,
]

\definecounter[SidenoteMarkNumber] [prefix=no]
\definemargindata [SidenoteContent][outer]
  [margin=margin,width=\outermarginwidth]
\setupmargindata  [SidenoteContent][stack=yes,style=\it]
\def\sidenotemark{\rawcountervalue[SidenoteMarkNumber]}
\def\convertsidenotemark#1{\high{\convertnumber{#1}{\sidenotemark}}}
\def\sidenote{\dosingleempty\dosidenote}
\def\dosidenote[#1]#2{%
\getparameters[SMsidenote]
  [align=\sidenoteparameter{align},
  conversion=\sidenoteparameter{conversion},
  way=\sidenoteparameter{way},
   #1]%
 \setupcounter[SidenoteMarkNumber] [#1]
 \incrementcounter[SidenoteMarkNumber]
 \convertsidenotemark{\SMsidenoteconversion}% mark in text
 \SidenoteContent[#1]{\setscript[hanzi]\setup[\SMsidenotealign]%
  \convertsidenotemark{\SMsidenoteconversion}% mark with 
note
  #2
}}
\protect
\starttext
天地玄黄，宇宙洪荒。日月盈昃，辰宿列张。寒来暑往，秋收冬\sidenote[align=flushleft] {天地玄黄，宇宙洪荒。}

That was exactly what I was looking for. It is working perfectly. Thanks
a lot!

With this knowledge finding additional information in the wiki is much
easier: :)

This works here (but maybe there should be a simpler way):

\definemathfunction
  [argmax]
  [mathlimits=auto]

\setupmathlabeltext
  [en]
  [argmax=arg\sixperemspace max]

\startTEXpage[offset=1ts]
\im{
  \argmax_{a\in A} f(a)
}
\blank[big]
\dm{
  \argmax_{a\in A} f(a)
}
\stopTEXpage

[NTG-context] define math function with \, inside

[Stefan Haller via ntg-context]

Hi all,

I wanted to define a custom math function (similar to log etc.) for
argmax. However, I wanted to have a small space between "arg" and "max"
and limits should work properly. I am using a up-to-date LMTX installation.

Without the first constraint it's easy:

> % old way:
> \definemathcommand[argmax][limop]{\mfunction[argmax]}
> % new way, discoverd by looking into math-def.mkxl
> \definemathfunction[argmax]

However, both methods do not work if I want to have "arg\,max" printed
(error about \endcsname missing). With mkiv the first method works and
can also be found in the wiki[1].

What's the current way to define such a custom math function?

Thanks!
Stefan

Thanks Hans, Aditya,

combining your ideas (\joinrel plus \kern) seems to work best for my use
case.

This is how we used to define arrows in the old days ...

\define[1]\Transition{\relbar\joinrel\mathrel{[}#1\mathrel{]}\joinrel\rightarrow}

Better use \luaexpr.  From the manual:

The \luaexpr command can also better deal with for instance conditions,
 where it returns true or false , while \cldcontext would interpret the
 boolean value as a special signal.

Although I think my solution is superior because you can just type

   \eval{1.0*sin(pi)}

instead of

   \eval{1.0*math.sin(math.pi)}

[NTG-context] Define the dimensions of a layout

[Fabrice Couvreur]

Hello,
I want the text area to be surrounded by a margin of 20 mm (top, right,
left and bottom).
I have already done this to have a left and right margin of 20 mm.

\setuplayout
  [height=middle,
   backspace=20mm,
   width=middle]

I  think that I must now have :

topdistance + header + headerdistance = 20mm

footerdistance + footer + bottomdistance + bottom = 20 mm

How to do ?
Thanks
Fabrice

Re: [NTG-context] define xml entity

You can find some in the test suite but it boils down to ...

\xmlsetentity{one}  {...}
\xmltexentity{sim}  {...}

or defining them in the preamble section of the xml file itself.

Entities are tricky. When they are used as abstraction you often want 
them roundtrip while otherwise you might want them expanded. YOu can 
have double escaped entities (which can result from import/export in 
half clever or inconsistent databases).  There's all kinds of control in 
context.


Another tricky thing is that because tex doesn't like # etc we need to 
have our own 'escapes' as well, so that runs in parallel of the 
subsystem that carries (unexpanded) entities around.


It's a conceptual mess deel down ... (well, you can read/understand lua 
so ...).

Re: [NTG-context] Define font based on language

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Michal Ondrejáš 
4. April 2016 um 15:17
Hello

I need some help regarding font definitions.

The situation is like this:

\definefont
[issuefont]
[SansRegular at 14pt]

{\issuefont \labeltext{issue} \crlf \documentvariable{issue}}

I need to get chinese text into the issue variable, but for that I 
need to change the font. I need something like this:


\def\chooseissufont{%
\translate
[zh={Sim Sun},
 en={SansRegular}]}

\definefont
[issuefont]
[\chooseissuefont at 14pt]

Using "zh" is ok, I managed to somehow make ConTeXt accept the "zh" 
language code. It's not perfect but it's for another topic. I get the 
text in this way, but the sizing doesn't work. The text is too small 
in all languages.
You can use ConTeXt’s fallback mechanism to pull missing glyphs from 
other fonts.


\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [MS Mincho] 
[range=cjkunifiedideographs]

\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Latin Modern Roman]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]

\starttext
People’s Republic of China (中华人民共和国)
\stoptext

[NTG-context] define macros only visible in a definestartstop-block that have arguments?

[Norbert Melzer]

Hi!

I have trouble to define macros which are only visible inside a block
defined using `\definestartstop`:

```tex
\setuppapersize[A6]
\definestartstop[Foo][before={Foo}]
\definestartstop[Bar][before={\bgroup\define\Foo{Foo}},after={\egroup}]
%\definestartstop[Baz][before={\bgroup\define[1]\Foo{Foo#1}},after={\egroup}]

\starttext
  \startFoo
Bar
  \stopFoo

  \startBar
\Foo Bar
  \stopBar

%  \startBaz
%\Foo{Bar}
%  \stopBaz
\stoptext
```

The code as above works and typesets FooBar on two separate lines. But if
I uncomment everything `Baz`-related, I end up with the following error:

```plain
tex errorerror on line 4 in file C:/HIDDEN/mwe.tex: ! Illegal
 parameter number in definition of \m_syst_action_yes



to be read again

1

argument ...{Baz}][{before={\bgroup \define [1]\Foo {Foo##1

  }},after={\egroup }}]

\doifnextoptionalelse ...ef \m_syst_action_yes {#1

  }\def \m_syst_action_nop
{...
l.4 ...bgroup\define[1]\Foo{Foo#1}},after={\egroup}]





 1 \setuppapersize[A6]

 2 \definestartstop[Foo][before={Foo}]

 3
\definestartstop[Bar][before={\bgroup\define\Foo{Foo}},after={\egroup}]

 4 
 \definestartstop[Baz][before={\bgroup\define[1]\Foo{Foo#1}},after={\egroup}]

 5

 6 \starttext

 7   \startFoo

 8 Bar

 9   \stopFoo

10

11   \startBar

12 \Foo Bar

13   \stopBar

14

```

Can someone help me get this running?

OK, took me a while to figure out that this was not an empty response but

take a further look into it tommorrow, thank you!

Re: [NTG-context] Define a new type section with metafun

[Fabrice]

Hi Hans,
Thank you for your answer, text placement is correct as long as the 
policy is not too great.
For cons, I'll remove the red line separation because its placement is 
random.

How do now to the numbering and the title text are equidistant from the

Another worry: when the title is too long, there is a line break, which

[NTG-context] \define with more than 9 parameters??

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist.
Is there in ConTeXt any dirty trick, which can put more than 9 
parameters into macro?


I mean for example \define[25]\macrowithtwentyfiveparams{  }

I use rarely any trick from Peter Olsak (see below) and I'd like 
something like that used in ConTeXt.


Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar

Here is minimal example of trick of Petr Olsak:

\newcount\tempnum
\def\terminator{*}
\newcount\tempnum
\def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readone \next}
\def\readone #1,{\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}%
%\the\tempnum - \param\par%
\ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\relax
\else\expandafter\gdef\csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}%
\fi\next}


\def\moreparameters#1{%
 \readparameters #1 %
 \csname param1\endcsname, % write first parameter
 \csname param3\endcsname, % write third parameter
 \csname param5\endcsname, % write fifth parameter
}


\starttext

There are a few tricks when you need more then nine parameters
but it’s better to use a different method to pass argument from
one command to another. Better and more readable solutions are
intermediate commands for each value or assignment lists (a=x,b=y,…).

Re: [NTG-context] \define a command with square-bracket arguments

[Sietse Brouwer]

 Question for the others: What's the difference of \dodoubleargument
 and \dodoubleempty? I expected \dodoubleargument to throw an error
 since the arguments are supposed to be mandatory.

 In MkIV Hans didn’t add this check and in MkII he disabled is for command
 with three or less argument but even then you get only a message in the log
 when your command has no argument (i.e. a command with four argument
 complains only when it has zero argument but doesn’t complain when it
 has one to four arguments).

Wikified: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/dodoubleempty
(I've been meaning to document that command for a while now. As a
complement to the existing explanation at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments, I mean.)

Originally the 'argument' variant reported a message but when the code 
was cleaned up that went away ... actually it means that we can say:


\let\dosingleargument\dosingleempty

There is still checking in the {} variants.

[NTG-context] \define a command with square-bracket arguments

[Sietse Brouwer]

Hi all,

As I understand it, \define[2] is preferred over \def#1#2 because it
refuses to overwrite existing commands.

\define[2]\mycommand{code code code}
defines a command to be invoked with
\mycommand{...}{...}

Can I use \define, or a related command, to define a command that
takes square-bracket arguments, like so:
\mycommand[...][...]
?

When I type
\define[1][2]\mycommand{code code code}
that doesn't work.

Cheers,
Sietse

Re: [NTG-context] \define a command with square-bracket arguments

[Marco Patzer]

2012-09-27 Sietse Brouwer sbbrou...@gmail.com:

Hi Sietse,

 As I understand it, \define[2] is preferred over \def#1#2 because it
 refuses to overwrite existing commands.

\define overwrites existing commands with pleasure. In contrast to
\def it prints a message to the log file: “\mycommand is already
defined”.

 Can I use \define, or a related command, to define a command that
 takes square-bracket arguments, like so:
 \mycommand[...][...]

\def\mycommand
  {\dodoubleempty\domycommand}

\def\domycommand [#1][#2]
  {first: #1, second: #2}

\mycommand [foo] [bar]
\mycommand [foo][bar]
\mycommand [foo]

Question for the others: What's the difference of \dodoubleargument
and \dodoubleempty? I expected \dodoubleargument to throw an error
since the arguments are supposed to be mandatory.

OK, let's deal with a specific use case.

I'm publisher/editor/reporter/photographer/mailer/janitor/coffeemaker 
for an organizational newsletter. I've done lots of other newsletters 
before but using DTP programs. I really want to use ConTeXt for this one
because the layout is (required to be) absolutely identical from one 
issue to the next.


Like a traditional newspaper, the front page will contain the masthead, 
headline and (for this one) a mandatory Privacy Act Notification. I'm 
virtually certain I can handle the three special bits using layers and
which will leave the margins and text area the same as the rest of the 
pages albeit with no header or footer. Hence, by definition, the front 
page is a makeup page for which the examples on the wiki are a bit, 
shall we say, sparse.


Without the makeup page, a \setuplayout [settings] works just 
wonderfully - I have a dummy with which I'm doing testing so I actually 
tried it. :)


Would I correctly, then, do the following:

% Global layout
\setuplayout
[settings]

\definelayout
[frontpage]
[settings]   % Only those things that are different from the global

\definemakeup
[frontpage]

% other definitions, fonts yadda, yadda, yadda

\starttext

\startmakeup [frontpage]
% place the layers

% content

\stopmakup

% continue content as required

\stoptext

Sorry for the length of this note but I thought it better to explain the 
whole thing upfront than in bits and pieces.


Thanks for all the help. I'm really loving ConTeXt but switching after
mumble years of using LaTeX and DTP programs is proving a little more 
of a challenge than I expected. Old dogs *can* learn new tricks but it 
takes a bit more work. :)

There is one thing that I warmly suggest you to do, and that is making
backups of ConTeXt versions that you use for production. ConTeXt is
lightweight enough, so you can easily afford storing the versions you
use along with content, and then try to compile your documents both
with the latest  greatest version as well as some backup version,
just to make sure that everything is still perfectly fine in both.
MKII is stable, but MKIV is still a moving target and from time to
time one or the other thing changes (LaTeX is in a sense way more
stable, but on the other hand 99.9% of the time you have no chance
that anyone would implement any feature request to make your life
easier).

Which is mostly an illusion, packages do change all the time,
hyphenation patterns change, fonts change and engines change (even

[NTG-context] define vs setup

[Bill Meahan]

I'm confused again. :\

When do you use a \defineSOMETHING instead of \setupSOMETHING ?

Must something be \define'ed before it is \setup or is it the other 
way around or is one required or one not or Reading the manual and 
wiki just leaves me more confused since examples are given which use one 
OR the other but don't seem to require both. Or am I missing something 
again.


Reading the pages for the individual commands doesn't help since it is 
often the case the page detailing the \define commands mostly seem

to imply \define inherits from \setup.

Sigh.

You can \setup what you \define|d yourself and \setup what is

[NTG-context] define macro from xml-attribute

[Meer, H. van der]

I would like to accomplish the following in xml processing.

node macro=various macro calls and then define the attribute value as a TeX 
macro.
For example, to use this in font switching: node 
macro=\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]

Doing this in the following manner does not work:

\startxmlsetups namespace
  \def\macro{\xmlattdef{#1}{macro}{\empty}} 
\stopxmlsetups

The contents evaluates not to a working macro.
Something with catcodes, I presume, but I do not how to do it properly.
Preferably I would like to see \meaning\macro evaluate to: 
\switchtobodyfont[helvetica].

Can someone enlighten me?

[NTG-context] Define `\luatexversion` similar to `\contextversion`

[Paul Menzel]

Dear ConTeXt folks,


thanks to Robin’s example documents I found out about the following last
two commands

\Context\ \contextmark\ \contextversion

allowing to put the used components and versions into the document.

Then I found `\luaversion` to display the version of Lua. But I could
not find `\luatexversion`. Is there something similar? Can this command
be defined?


Thanks,

Paul

The wiki entry is correct, the syntax is

  \define[number of arguments]\name of the command{do something with the 
arguments}


When you want a command without argument you can omit the brackets and write

  \define\command{...}

Re: [NTG-context] \define...

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Curiouser and curiouser! cried Alice.
:)



context has two different versions of \define, there is one in
syst-ext.mkii/syst-aux.mkiv
which has no parameters but prevents you from overwriting a existing
command (there \redefine
with allows this) and another one in core-sys.mkii/mkiv which replace
the first one and has
support for parameters but replace on the other side the old definition
(you get only the
terminal message)

the question is, which behavious is correct, replace the old macro or
keep it, in my
opinion \define should leave the old definition untouced and \redefine
should be used
in this case (but we need a version with parameters)

 texexec manual.tex --define Title X99 Operators Manual

so that

 \Title

would expand to the appropriate text?


You can do that with pdftex command,

pdftex -progname=context -fmt=cont-en -translate-file=natural.tcx 
--output-format=pdf --8bit --jobname=filename

 \\def\\Title{whatever} \\input filename

but you loose all the goodies of texexec (multiple runs, running bibtex, 
sorting index, etc.)


Alternatively, it is possible to read from console during a tex run

\starttext
\immediate\write16{What is the title?}
\read16 to \Title
Title is \Title
\stoptext



\starttext

test: \env{whatever}

\stoptext

context --arguments=whatever=Test ...

[NTG-context] Define tex macro on the context command line

[John Devereux]

Hi,

Is it possible to define a tex macro on the context command line (MkII)?

For example:

  texexec manual.tex --define Title X99 Operators Manual

so that 

  \Title

would expand to the appropriate text?

(I know about modes I think)

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Thank you, Aditya, for help!

My further questions:

Why after={}or after= does not remove the space between enumeration 
caption and next paragraph?


For example:

\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, prefix=yes,

prefixset=section, titleleft=, titleright=, after=]


\exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка плавно з'єднує заданий відрізок та 
точку на площині}Якщо нам потрібно з'єднати, наприклад, відрізок, який 
лежить...


produces blank line after the caption.

Could we have all the switches listed in tex-show, btw?

Now you probably think that giving me advise to use enumerations was not 
good idea ))


Regards,
Vyatcheslav

Its alright as long as you add something about enumerations to the wiki :)

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Please, disregard my last question about enumeration setup. Now I know 
more and created definition that works fine for me:


\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, prefix=yes,

prefixset=section, titleleft=, titleright=, after=, 
inbetween={\blank[medium]}]



The trick is that after sets space after the next paragraph text. I 
wonder why http://texshow.contextgarden.net/cmd/setupenumerations is empty.

Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello Aditya,

Thanks for help again. However, the result is far from OK.

[title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection, prefix=yes, width=broad]

I use enumeration within subsubsection, namely 1.3.1. If I put 
prefix=yes, the first exercise is 1.3.1.1. That is, it is numbered 
within subsubsection, while I want to be only 
SectionNumber.ExerciseNumber, like 1.1, 1.2, etc.


I suspected that [way=bysection] key does the job but it does nothing in 
this case.


And another major issue is: why the text is put in the frame and is 
either a few centimenters wide (without width=broad) or goes out of the 
page (with width=broad)? I need just ordinary paragraph.



Please, try

\starttext
\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection, 
width=broad]


\exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка з'єднує три точки на площині}
\stoptext


The Вправа is putted twice, next time inside some strange brackets. 
The text gets out of the page.


Looks like a bug in mkiv. Hans, text need to be handled differently in 
descriptions and enumerations.


How to setup so that numeration will be done by subsection (1.1, 1.2, 
etc.)?


prefix=yes,

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I want to be only
ExerciseSectionNumber.ExerciseNumber, like 1.1, 1.2, etc.
 

You may try prefixset=section.

   
Thank you, Longmin, for your suggestion, it works! But other problems 
persist.


Hans (or someone else who can fix it), please, look into my minimal example:


\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Exercise, prefix=yes, 
prefixset=section, width=fit] %way=bysection,


\starttext
\exercise{Bla-bla-bla Bla-bla-bla Bla-bla-bla Bla-bla-bla Bla-bla-bla 
Bla-bla-bla}


Bla-bla-bla
\stoptext


1) the text is framed in odd manner and goes out of the page

2) the caption text is put into unexpected round brackets

3) the word Exercise is repeated twice, second time inside brackets 
before caption text.


Please, fix it because I use it. If it's impossible at the moment, 
please, suggest me another way of achieving this.


Reagards,
Vyatchelsav

That is the expected behaviour. If you do not want the brackets, you can 
add


titleleft=, titleright=

3) the word Exercise is repeated twice, second time inside brackets before 
caption text.


This is already fixed in the latest beta.

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I need to define a Exercise command that will enumerate exercises and provide
  captions.

  For example,

  \exercise{Conversion from hex to dec}

  should produce

  Exercise 1.1. Conversion from hex to dec.

  What is the best way to achieve that? Use \definehead or another command?
 

\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes,way=bysection]
   


Thank you Aditya, but the result is rather shoking )
Please, try

\starttext
\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection, 
width=broad]


\exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка з'єднує три точки на площині}
\stoptext


The Вправа is putted twice, next time inside some strange brackets. 
The text gets out of the page.

[NTG-context] define font | font with name Delicious-Roman is not found

[Nicolas Girard]

Hi all,
I'm using the latest beta of context minimals, rsynced over a TeXlive
2008 on ubuntu.

LuaTeX is Version beta-0.40.1-2009050920 (Web2C 7.5.7)
MTXrun is TDS Runner Tool 1.22
ConTeXt is 2009.05.28 14:36

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list|grep Delicious gives:
deliciousbold  Delicious-Bold
/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_bold.otf
deliciousbolditalicDelicious-BoldItalic
/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_bolditalic.otf
deliciousheavyDelicious-Heavy
/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_heavy.otf
deliciousitalic  Delicious-Italic
/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_italic.otf
deliciousroman   Delicious-Roman
/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_roman.otf
delicioussmallcaps  Delicious-SmallCaps
/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_smallcaps.otf

while env|grep ^OS gives
OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts


Running the following file is okay:

\starttext
\font\Myfont=/usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_roman.otf at 24pt
\Myfont Hello, world
\stoptext

but running

\starttext
\font\Myfont=Delicious-Roman at 24pt
\Myfont Hello, world
\stoptext

leads to

define font | font with name Delicious-Roman is not found
define font | unknown font Delicious-Roman, loading aborted
! Font \Myfont=Delicious-Roman at 24pt not loadable: metric data
not found or bad.

What's going wrong ?
Thanks very much in advance !

[Dalyoung]

Thank you for the checking.

I typed the text and run it.
At this time, it worked.
There may be a garbage attached during the process of copy and paste.

By the way, is it possible to  modify this code to use circled  
character a, b, c, ...?
By using the command \sym{symbol}, I may use them, but is there a  
automatic way of doing that?


Thank you again.

[NTG-context] define an incremental personal bullet of item

[polytope]

Dear all,

I'd like to use circled number 1, circled number 2, ... as bullets  
of itemized block.

There is an explanation how to define a personal bullet in the manual.
For each \item the same bullet is used.  But I want bullets  
automatically changed to the next character in unicode table.

(For example, the command \startitemize[n]
displays next number as a bullet  when the command \item is issued. )

Is there a way to do that?

Thank you.

Dear all,

I'd like to use circled number 1, circled number 2, ... as bullets 
of itemized block.

There is an explanation how to define a personal bullet in the manual.
For each \item the same bullet is used.  But I want bullets 
automatically changed to the next character in unicode table.

(For example, the command \startitemize[n]
displays next number as a bullet  when the command \item is issued. )

Is there a way to do that?


\starttext

\startuniqueMPgraphic{circle}
draw fullcircle xsized(bbwidth (OverlayBox enlarged 2pt)) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[circle][\uniqueMPgraphic{circle}]

\def\MyCircledNumber#1%
  {\inframed[background=circle,frame=off]{\number#1}}

\defineconversion[n][\MyCircledNumber]

\startitemize[n,broad]
\dorecurse{20}{\item test \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

[NTG-context] \define was: Section format using /def

Ah, I think I see. So \define[1]\mysectionhead{\bfa
\WORD{\underbar{#1}}} would also be valid.  Is \define a context
equivalent to the \def command for tex?  I couldn't find much
documentation on it.


\define is ConTeXt's equivalent to \newcommand in LaTeX, you can set
with the optional parameter the number of arguments. It makes a check
if the command you create is already defined and writes a message to
the terminal.

Usage:

\define\commanda   {First Command}
\define[1]\commandb{Second command: #1}
\define[2]\commandc{Third command: #1 #2}

\starttext
\commanda
\commandb{text}
\commandc{text}{text}

[NTG-context] define command

[Alan STONE]

Hi,

For example

\define\somemacro[3]{...}

gets invoked with

\somemacro{#1}{#2}{#3}

How do you get rid of those repeating pesky curly brackets and
invoke a user defined macro with

\somemacro{#1,#2,#3}

instead ?  :O)

Not what you want, but I have found useful this

\def\SomeMacro[#1]{%
\getparameters[SOMEMACRO][#1]
%%
%%now you have \csname SOMEMACRO{}\endcsname
%%
%%
}

\SomeMacro[foo=2,boo=4,goo=\TeX, my name is =joe]

\SOMEMACROfoo
\SOMEMACROboo
\SOMEMACROgoo
\csname SOMEMACROmy name is\endcsname

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}

Thanks Peter,

 I ended up using

\def\doifoneelse#1{\doifelse{#1}{1}}

which saves a few keystrokes :)

\def\doifoneelse{\doifelse{1}}

or 

\def\doifoneelse{\doifelse1}

saves you even more keystrokes and also a bit of runtime (measured in 
nanoseconds)

[NTG-context] Define doifoneelse

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

  I want to define a macro, \doifoneelse, that checks if the first 
argument is 1 or not. It should work for decimals and strings also. 
So,

\doifoneelse{1}{a}{b}  gives a
\doifoneelse{1.5}{a}{b} gives b
\doifonelese{string}{a}{b} gives b

Can someone suggest how to define this?

Thanks,
Aditya
