macro beginner question
Hello all, in the process of learning macro programming in context i encountered the following problem (minimal example is attached): When i have \setuphead[section][color={red}] the color key influences in a strange way my „novice macro“ (see the text which should be black but is red). Further more the \ruledhbox in my macro stops at some point the red color (with a normal \hbox all the text in the section is red). what i´m doing wrong here? I don’t expect such a behaviour best regards Bernhard

Somewhere you should execute \Mycolor, you are only defining it. Best wishes, Taco
deleting the \def\Mycolor line does not help - same result. best regards Bernhard Am 05.06.2010 um 14:34 schrieb Taco Hoekwater:

No, that would definitely not help. Your problem was not the definition, but that you never actually called the macro. You should put the definition back, and add \Mycolor to the \OpticalTest macro, perhaps like so: \def\OpticalTest[#1]#2{% \addff{\OOFeature}% \definedfont[#2 at \OOSize]% \setupinterlinespace \hbox to \textwidth{\clip[width=.39\textwidth, bottomoffset=\strutdepth]{% \Mycolor ..\hbox to .39\textwidth etc. etc.
best regards Bernhard

i tried what you suggested (please see attachment), but i think there is something fishy with the color black. \definecolor[Myblack][s=0] gives same results as described above but other colors work as they should do. best regards Bernhard
