Hallo ConTeXters,
I am playing with defining my own macro with key=value parameters. Please, consider definition:
\def\setupField[#1]#2[#3]{\getparameters[Field!#1!][#3]}
\setupField[name][mykey=value,textwidth=2cm]If you let ConTeXt to show the values by
\message{
<mykey=\getvalue{Field!name!mykey}>
<textwidth=\getvalue{Field!name!textwidth}>
<tekstbreedte=\getvalue{Field!name!tekstbreedte}> }you obtain
<mykey=value> <textwidth=\Field!name!textwidth > <tekstbreedte=2cm>
While 'mykey' is OK, predefined keys (like textwidth, text, style, ...) lead to undefined parameter, that behave like \relax.
I can imagine next solutions:
1) Do not use predefined keys in my macros, e.g. textWidth instead of
textwidth [=user unfriendly].
2) Use original (mostly Dutch) keys inside of my macros
[=developer unfriendly].
3) Define:
\unprotect
\def\getparametersALL{\dogetparameters\dosetvalueALL}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\protect and use:
\def\setupField[#1]#2[#3]{\getparametersALL[Field!#1!][#3]}
\setupField[name][mykey=value,textwidth=2cm]
\message{
<mykey=\getvalue{Field!name!mykey}>
<textwidth=\getvalue{Field!name!textwidth}>
<tekstbreedte=\getvalue{Field!name!tekstbreedte}> } it gives:
<mykey=value>
<textwidth=2cm>
<tekstbreedte=\Field!enname!tekstbreedte>Is there any other (more elegant and not-so-dirty) solution?
Thankx Vit Zyka
