There are better ways to deal with data in ConTeXt, but it's basically that way, I think.

Hello:
I am trying to print a list of names always followed by the same info
(generated by a new command). At the moment, I have all the names
followed by the command like so:
Person Number One
\mycommand
Person Number Two
\mycommand
Person Number Three
\mycommand
Person Number Four
\mycommand
Person Number Five
\mycommand
.
.
.
I'd rather have the list of people stored somewhere (a list? an array?)
and loop through it and then inserting \mynewcommand at compilation
time. That way, when I need to replace the list of people with a new
one, I'd just do that instead of building the above structure again and
again.
Is it possible to do that with just ConTeXt or would I need to resort to
Lua. I guess it should be possible both ways, but I haven't figure out
how to do it. Any pointer, please?
Thank you so much in advance.
Cheers,
Ángel
