I am learning to work with ConTeXt. At the moment I have the following
defined:
\newdimen\CheckBoxMargin
\CheckBoxMargin=2em
\newdimen\CheckBoxWidth
\CheckBoxWidth=2.5em
\newdimen\CheckBoxDistance
\CheckBoxDistance=.5em
\definesymbol[CheckBox][{[~~~]}]
\def\startcheckbox[#1]{
\blank
\leftaligned{#1}
\startitemize[packed, intro, joinedup][margin=\CheckBoxMargin,
symbol=CheckBox, width=\CheckBoxWidth,
distance=\CheckBoxDistance]
}
\def\stopcheckbox{
\stopitemize
\blank
\crlf
}
\def\GetNiveauOfService[#1]{
\blank
#1 {\switchtobodyfont[0.5em](1 = low, 9 = high)}
\startitemize[packed, intro, joinedup, columns][n=9,
symbol=CheckBox, width=\CheckBoxWidth,
distance=\CheckBoxDistance]
\dorecurse{9}{
\item \recurselevel
}
\stopcheckbox
}
I have a few questions about this.
In GetNiveauOfService 9 is used three times. I like DRY, so I was
wondering if there would be a better way to do this?
Next step would be that the number of checkboxes could be a parameter.
The default would be nine and if given, the given value would be used.
How would I do this?
Then the 'normal' checkboxes. The default is one column. But I would
like to have the possibility to use a parameter to for example make
checkboxes in three columns. How would I do this?
Lastly, in GetNiveauOfService there is text. How can I make this
language dependent. For example in English I want:
(1 = low, 9 = high)
but in Dutch:
(1 = weinig, 9 = veel)
and properly it would be a good idea to have two optional parameters
when you want other descriptions.
How would I do this?
