What is the right way to define a command with both mandatory and optional arguments, e.g: i'm not sure wht happens at your end but this is the best way:

Also, there’s documentation at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments If there’s something wrong, please fix it yourself or come back to this list ;)

Thank you Hraban for pointing me to the wiki. I was aware of this page but it contains only the case of mandatory arguments in curly braces {} not in brackets [].

Arguments in brackets are always optional (if I don’t misunderstand), depending on your own logic (\if*argument, \ifempty etc.) see also http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Handling_Arguments http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Branches_and_Decisions etc. I need to read these more often myself...
