Dear both, thanks for your answers. `doloopovermatch` didn't work for me but this below is achieving what I wanted.

Hi,
is it possible to pass a list in a variable? I'd like to pass a list of authors:
\startchapter[title={Foo Bar}][authors={Alice, Bob}]
% PSEUDOCODE % for author in \structureuservariable{authors} % do print(author + '\crlf') % done
\stopchapter
Search the wiki. Look for "Comma Separated Lists." There is a variant with an author list as an example.
You may need additional brace levels around the list entries.
I'm not sure this is on the wiki ...
\starttext
\startchapter[title={Foo Bar}][authors={Alice, Bob},AUTHORS={Bob,Alice}]
\doloopovermatch {[^, ]+} {\structureuservariable{authors}} { (#1)\crlf } \doloopovermatch {[^,]+} {\structureuservariable{authors}} { (#1)\crlf } \doloopovermatch {[^,]+} {\structureuservariable{AUTHORS}} { (#1)\crlf } \doloopovermatch {[^,]+} {\structureuservariable{AUTHORS}} { \doloopovermatch {.} {#1} { (##1) } \crlf }
\stopchapter
but feel free to add it.
Hans
