Hello ConTeXist,
Is it possible go through all the keys of \setvariables (getvariable) macro and create the appropriate macros, as in the case of \getparameters macro?
I mean macro like \getallvariablesfrom[myfirstnamespace], which return contents of brackets macro \setvariables[myfirstnamespace] (it mean list of all assignments key=value ...)
In addition, you can assign all the variables one namespace to another namespace (or to create a loop which all variables passed and placed into the other namespace.)?
Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar
Here is my inspiration of example :
\setvariables[myfirstnamespace][id=1, value={text}]
\starttext
% \getparameters[myfirstnamespace][\getallvariablesfrom[myfirstnamespace]]
% Now would be defined macros \myfirstnamespaceid (1) and \myfirstnamespacevalue (text)
% Assign all the variables of [myfirstnamespace] namespace to [myotherspace] namespace? %\setvariable[myotherspace][\getallvariablesfrom[myfirstnamespace]]
\stoptext
There is no way to access the list with the parameters from \setvariables but the question why you want a command for each variable. In MkIV direct use of values in the form \myfirstnamespaceid are replaced with something like \mynamespaceparameter{id} which has the advantage that you can even use keys which haven’t been assigned before.
