Thanks Hans,
I supposed that lua would be more suitable, but unfortunately I still did not
learn it (I hope in summer I have time to read the manual)
The problem arises from the fact that for each line i will perform a different
action and for \def\foo I need four arguments so that I can correctly format
the lines. How can i get the result of string.splitlines (s) separated into
four arguments to pass to the macro? then \foo would be
\def\foo#1SEPARATOR#2SEPARATOR#3SEPARATOR#4
I now use:
\starttext
%now I use the dirty trick of writing an ñ at the end of line so that the macro
detects each argument; but for each question I have to manually add it, which
is tedious; therefore I look for a solution to detect lines automatically
%the definition
\def\tareaAbc #1ñ#2ñ#3ñ#4ñ{\item #1
\startitemgroup[lista1a]
\item #2
\item #3
\item #4
\stopitemgroup}
%in the document
/startitemgropu[lista1a] %I manually open the first level of the list
so the first argument -the question- gets numbered
\tareaAbc In den Büchereien gibt es auch …ñ %the question; an item of
first level
… Kuchen.ñ %option a gets a new list of second level opened and argument
2 is the first item
… Theater.ñ %option b another item
… Workshops.ñ %option c last item and closes the second level list
%some more macros with more questions and options
/stopitemgroup %I manually close the first level list
You have to provide more details about these lines. For instance, do you
want to split on spaces?
