Hi all,
i guess this is easy, but I can't find an example to help
me: I want to write a macro that will collect one of its
arguments in a buffer and then collect the other argument
in a buffer. Difficult to make a minimal example since I
don't know how to do this, so here is some pseudo-code;
this is what I want to achieve:
\definebuffer[MyBuffer]
\def\MyGreatMacro#1#2#3%
{\item[#1] #2 \par
\appendtobuffer{MyBuffer}{\in[#1] #3}}
\starttext
\startitemize
\MyGreatMacro{1}{aa}{AA}
\MyGreatMacro{2}{bb}{BB}
\stopitemize
\page
\getbuffer[MyBuffer]
\resetbuffer[MyBuffer] % so I can reuse the buffer
\stoptext
What I want to do with this is typeset exercises for my
students, with an itemization for problems and solutions
which use the same numbering. In real life, this will
involve xml, but I will try and figure that out myself
once I know how to use buffers...
It looks like buffers.collectcontent should be able to do
this, but I can't figure out how to use it. Any pointers?
Thanks a lot!
All best
Thomas
