hi list,
skip to the many %%% if you just want to help me ;)
i need to make a macro which consists of ten optional arguments. it wouldn’t be too ugly to require to write the following to use it, since it outputs a 3×3 matrix with an adjacent tenth item, but tex can’t handle ten arguments afaik.
syntax idea: empty: \bigcrafting% {}{}{}% {}{}{}{}% {}{}{}%
partly filled: \bigcrafting% {}{}{}% {planks}{planks}{}{workbench}% {planks}{planks}{}%
how it should look: [image: CraftingWorkbenchIO.png]
ok, since using empty “required” arguments aren’t elegent, either, i wanted to get into key=value sets, but ran into the next problem:
i wanted to instead define bigcrafting to work like this: \bigcrafting [21=planks, 22=planks, 31=planks, 32=planks] [workbench]
but \getparametershttp://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_KeyVal_argumentscan’t handle numerical values.

As Hans wrote it's possible, but I like the to use "row" for row, "col" for
column and "c" for cell i.e \def\BigCrafting[#1]% {\getparameters[Ph][c11={},c12={},c13={}, c21={},c22={},c23={},c24={}, c31={},c32={},c33={},#1] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD\getvalue{Phc11}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc12}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc13}\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD\getvalue{Phc21}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc22}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc23}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc24}\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD\getvalue{Phc31}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc32}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{Phc33}\eTD\eTR \eTABLE } \starttext \BigCrafting[c11=FOO,c33=GOO,c22=BOO,c24=Zoo] \BigCrafting[c11=FOO,c24=GOO] \stoptext
You can also use a better namespace \def\BigCrafting[#1]% \unprotect \getparameters[flying-sheep@web.de:][c11={},c12={},c13={}, c21={},c22={},c23={},c24={}, c31={},c32={},c33={},#1] \getvalue{flying-sheep@web.de:c11}%% \getvalue{flying-sheep@web.de:c12}%% and so on \protect } -- luigi
