Hi Werner,
[Being bad at Scheme I also didn't succeed to define a macro
`\absmarkup` that works at the top level as a substitute for
`\markup`.]
Any takers?
I'm skeptical as to whether this is possible: \markup has the effect of
switching the lexer into 'markup' state, and this is hardcoded in a
special rule in lexer.ll/parser.yy.
But it can be done if you are willing to spend one more backslash. :-)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.24.0"
#(define (positive-number? x) (and (number? x) (positive? x)))
abs =
#(define-scheme-function (size text) ((positive-number? 18) markup?)
(make-abs-fontsize-markup size text))
\abs\markup Test
\markup \abs-fontsize #18 { Test (comparison) }
\abs 24 \markup Blah
\markup \abs-fontsize #24 { Blah (comparison) }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
