Re: [NTG-context] Passing variables on invocation- and reading them in ConTEXt

Thanks to all. After about 30 mins exploring, it all came together. I'll try to add something to the wiki....the link below is fine if you know it's there, and that this is what you want. But the search function ("arguments" and variants thereof did not find it for me). The best match for what I was sure would be there, is \env{}. I still have no idea how it's (semantically) related to --arguments...unless its all Dutch... Kind regards Ian On 10 Sep 2012, at 14:02, Sietse Brouwer wrote:

Then you have to be sure, that --number and --time will never be special parameters for context.

Indeed.

Alternatives:

"--MarcoPatzerNumber=8 --MarcoPatzerTime=full-time"

Or:

% context --arguments=number=8,time=full-time test.tex

This seems the better alternative, since that's what the option was made for.
