Hello All,
I'm looking for some "for dummies" information about using variables. I tried looking for it in the wiki, but only found this "Internals" page that's a bit too advantaged to me: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Inside_ConTeXt#Using_variables I'm obviously missing something important, so I'd love to see a few more examples of variables and variable input files...
\setvariables [whatever] [name:first={product a}, price:first={123,45}, name:second={product b}, price:second={0.67}] \starttext You can order \getvariable {whatever} {name:first} but only if you're willing to pay the price of \getvariable {whatever} {price:first} Euros. But why not go for the much cheaper \getvariable {whatever} {name:second} that only costs you \getvariable {whatever} {price:second} Euros! \stoptext Something like that? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
