I want to put a color command in a "before" command, that command being inserted in a macro. Something like \setupxyz[before=\color[green]{whatever}] The problem is that the argument parser gets confused when []- expressions are found within the setup. It is not an option to reprogram everything with {}'s instead of []'s, because then I lose to much of ConTeXt's abilities (apart from the nuisance of having to reprogram something that has already been done). I suspect there is no way of sneaking in these []'s inside the command? That is the general solution. My eyes spotted something like \dowithcolor#1#2, but there TeX complains about not knowing \od. Is there a solution to this problem? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer
Thanks, that worked. But it leads to my next question, I am afraid. When I define: \definecolor [brightred][r=0.7, g=.1, b=.1] then I can use this in \startcolor[brightred]...\stopcolor according to \meaning brightred being \protected macro \switchtocolor [brightred] Now I am fond of symbolic names and therefore also defined: \definecolor [FrameColor][brightred] Thus being able to use FrameColor as \MPcolor{FrameColor} in MetaFun. (\meaning says \MPcolor{FrameColor} is \scaledMPcolor 1Framecolor, \FrameColor being undefined) I thought to use \MPcolor{FrameColor} also in \startcolor[\MPcolor{FrameColor}]...\stopcolor or \startcolor[FrameColor]...\stopcolor but neither of these worked, nor did {\switchtocolor[FrameColor]...}\crlf {\switchtocolor[\MPcolor{FrameColor}]...}\crlf How can I use FrameColor here to? Without defining extra macros around FrameColor, I hope. On Jan 25, 2006, at 20:55, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

\setupxyz[before={\color[green]{whatever}}]

This really should have worked: \definecolor [brightred][r=0.7, g=.1, b=.1] \definecolor [FrameColor][brightred] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startcolor[FrameColor]Bright Red\stopcolor \stoptext Cheers, taco
Please forget about the posting below. I messed up something else (having to do with not enabling the appropriate mode selections in other files). Sorry. yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer On Jan 25, 2006, at 22:13, Hans van der Meer wrote:
