Hello ConTeXist.
Is there in ConTeXt any dirty trick, which can put more than 9
parameters into macro?
I mean for example \define[25]\macrowithtwentyfiveparams{ .... }
I use rarely any trick from Peter Olsak (see below) and I'd like
something like that used in ConTeXt.
Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar
Here is minimal example of trick of Petr Olsak:
\newcount\tempnum
\def\terminator{*}
\newcount\tempnum
\def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readone \next}
\def\readone #1,{\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}%
%\the\tempnum - \param\par%
\ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\relax
\else\expandafter\gdef\csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}%
\fi\next}
\def\moreparameters#1{%
\readparameters #1 %
\csname param1\endcsname, % write first parameter
\csname param3\endcsname, % write third parameter
\csname param5\endcsname, % write fifth parameter
}
\starttext
%\readparameters a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*, %
%\def\parameters{aaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd,eeeee,fffff,ggggg,*,}
%\expandafter\readparameters\parameters
\moreparameters{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*,}
\stoptext
