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
