A feeble request from me, again.
I'd like to pass variables into context on invocation, just as you can do with
setting modes
So
context --arguments="number=8", "time=full-time" --mode=trial test.tex
And have the values of the variables show up in the body of the text, so:
----
\starttext
Hello world
% This is \getvariables{arguments}{number} it. % this does not work - what do I
need here to write out the next line?
This is 8.
% This is \getvariables{arguments}{time} it. % Nor does this - what do I need
here to write out the next line?
This is full-time.
\stoptext
----
As ever, I've trawled the manuals and wiki and archive emails (which is where
the construct --arguments="number=8" came from.)
Thanks in anticipation
Ian
