AFAIK startstop doesn't support optional|additional arguments. But maybe
I'm wrong or there is a better fitting macro somewhere in the deep of
'the base'. I simply dunno.
Anyhow, this is what I would do in such a case
\def\startFOO{\dodoubleempty\dostartFOO}
\long\def\dostartFOO[#1][#2]#3\stopFOO{%
\iffirstargument
[do something with #1]
\else
[do something without #1]
\fi
\ifsecondargument
[do something with #2]
\else
[do something without #2]
\fi
[whatever before]
#3
[whatever after]
}
\let\stopFOO\relax % or define the [whatever after] stuff here
This is the basic construct, the rest is parameter evaluation and some
additional whatever.

Pleeease, I need a help.
I might formulate my previous question badly, so let me restate it.
How to handle optional arguments (one or two) with \definestartstop? More

write

Hello,
I want to convert my following code into a custom \start \stop pair.
\starttextrule{Use Case: Logging-On}\startpacked

[NTG-context] Layers in ConTeXt
Hello all,
I have a couple of questions concerning the use of layers in
ConTeXt. I'm working with Luigi Scarso on a layout which is
characterized by some fixed-position elements surrounding
the actual main body of text.
For the fixed-position elements, I'm using layers. However,
my ConTeXt is a little rusty[*], so there are a couple of
things which I need hints for.
The first one is very simple: is there a way to 'fix' the
layer's content "until they change"? I've currently set them
as page backgrounds, but their content gets reset on each
new page.
The second question is slightly more complex: is there a way
to add contents to a layer, rather than replacing the
current layer content? Something like a macro
\addtolayer[layername][hoffset=whatever(optional)]{additional content}
Thanks in advance,
--
Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
P.S. To prove that it's really me, I'll signal two minor
typos in the context source:
core-tab.tex:88:%D {inintable, ifsplittables}
(first should be ifintable), and
page-lyr.tex:81: \c!x=\zeropoint,\c!y=\zeropoint,\c!position=\v!no,
page-lyr.tex:87: \c!location=rb,\c!position=\v!no,\c!page=,
position=no is set twice in the same setup.
[*] I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, the
University has sucked up most of my time. I was never too
happy with it, and I'm planning on a comeback :D
