Hello, Sorry, I sent this message to the list without a subject earlier today. I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006. I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a cut-down version: \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red \definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue \def\exam[#1] {\getrawparameters [Exam] [ title= course=, date=, start=, stop=, #1] \title{\Examtitle}} \definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5] \definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5] \setuphead[title] [ style=\BigFontOne, command=\examtitle, before={}, after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]} \hfill Start: \expanded{Examstart} Stop: \expanded{Examstop} \egroup\blank}, ] %D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title \def\examtitle#1#2% {\framed[ width=broad, frame=off, align=middle, foregroundcolor=colortwo, % I want a shadow around the title frame background=shadow] {#2\\{Examcourse}}} \exam[ title=Mid-term 2010, course=ES2917, date={d=17,m=2,y=2010}, start={9:00 am}, stop={11:00 am} ] I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that (1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset; (2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface; (3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart' & 'Examstop' Thanks for any help, Roger
