Hi,

For example

\define\somemacro[3]{...}

gets invoked with

\somemacro{#1}{#2}{#3}

How do you get rid of those repeating pesky curly brackets and invoke a user defined macro with

\somemacro{#1,#2,#3}

\starttext \def\somemacro#1% {\def\dosomemacro##1{(##1)}% \processcommalist[#1]\dosomemacro} \somemacro{A,B,C} \stoptext http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Comma_Separated_Lists http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Inside_ConTeXt Wolfgang

Others have replied how to define this if you want arbitrary number of parameters. But if you want something similar to \somemacro#1#2#3 you can use (the is some extra book-keeing because you want {..} as delimiters. Which means you either change catcodes, or do this shuffling around of arguments) \def\somemacro#1% {\dosomemaco[#1]} \def\dosomemacro[#1,#2,#3]% {whatever you want the macro to be} Aditya
