Wolfgang,
Thank you for this. I can see what you are trying to do here, but this does not
actually compile for me. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the
implementation of ConTeXt to track the problem down. I am getting:
! Undefined control sequence.

Admittedly, I am on version 2012.10.20, which is about six months old now, but
I am hesitant to update as I have a lot of co-workers using the same version
and our configuration management processes dictate that we always update
together.
Could you please help me out.
Thank you,
Malte.
