A variation on Hans original suggestion is to use a buffer instead of a
separate text file, combined with Lua.
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
function userdata.formatTestQuestions()
local the_buffer = buffers.getlines("TestQuestions")
local tracker = 0
local the_question = {}
local letters = {"-", "a", "b", "c"}
-- Go through the buffer of questions one line at a time
for i = 1,#the_buffer do
-- Skip blank lines but 'collect' non-blank lines until we have four
-- (which is assumed to be a whole question)
if string.strip(the_buffer[i]) == "" then
tracker = 0
the_question = {}
else
tracker = tracker + 1
the_question[tracker] = the_buffer[i]
end
-- If tracker has got to 4 then we've read four lines
if tracker == 4 then
context.startlines()
context("{\\bf Beispiel:} %s", the_question[1])
context(true)
for answer = 2,4 do
context("\\qquad %s) %s", letters[answer], the_question[answer])
context(true)
end
context.stoplines()
-- Reset for the next question (in case no blank line)
tracker = 0
the_question = {}
end
end
end
\stopluacode
\def\startTestQuestions
{\dostartbuffer[TestQuestions][startTestQuestions][stopTestQuestions]}
\def\stopTestQuestions
{\ctxlua{userdata.formatTestQuestions()}}
\starttext
Here are some questions:
\startTestQuestions
In den Büchereien gibt es auch …
… Kuchen.
… Theater.
… Workshops.

How do you think you did on that test? Here's another one.
