Hello Peter,
I am not so sure if I can help you, but I'll give it a try.
The examples are taken from my t-layout module.
I wanted to have
\ShowLayout[a=b,c=d]
but with the possibility to say \ShowLayout without [ ]. So I define \ShowLayout as
\def\ShowLayout{\dosingleempty\doShowLayout}
and \doShowLayout as
\def\doShowLayout[#1]{% \getparameters[ShowLayout][#1]
(some not important stuff)
}
to access a value, just use \getvalue{ShowLayout....} where ... is your keyword.
I hope I did not forget anything.
There is a translation step for the keywords. For example, if a user would say \ShowLayout[command=\xxx], you would have to retrieve it as \getvalue{ShowLayoutcommando} (note the Dutch translation commando). Translation is done for all keywords that are used in Context's core; language variants are mapped to a canonical value, often but not always the Dutch form of the keyword. I do not remember where to look this up; usually I just look into the trace log to find out. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping email: spepping@scaprea.hobby.nl home page: scaprea.hobby.nl
