[NTG-context] define command

2008-11-14 Thread 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}
