Combine \setupdelimitedtext with an author (define custom variable?)
Hi, I like to achieve something that looks like this: ``` \definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote] \setupdelimitedtext [extract] [leftmargin=1.5pc, style={\italic}, before={\setupindenting[next]}, after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] \tfx\italic{René Descartes} \stopalignment}] \starttext \startextract Cogito ergo sum. \stopextract \stoptext ``` So it should setup a quotation and mentions the author. However, here the author is hardcoded within the blockquote. I would like it to use like this: ``` \definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote] \setupdelimitedtext [extract] [leftmargin=1.5pc, style={\italic}, before={\setupindenting[next]}, after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] \tfx\italic{\getcustomvariable{author}} \stopalignment}] \starttext \startextract[author=René Descartes] Cogito ergo sum. \stopextract \stoptext ``` Is there an easy way to achieve that? I tried with \structureuservariable (like possible in \startchapter) but it does not work. Best, Gerion

not all constructs hav ethese user variables (yet) i'll add an option for arguments tostart/stop so that you can do \starttext \definedelimitedtext [dextract] [blockquote] [leftmargin=1.5pc, style=italic, before=\setupindenting[next], after=\setups{extract:whatever}] \definestartstop [extract] [arguments=yes, before=\setups{extract:start}, after=\setups{extract:stop}] \startsetups extract:start \startdextract \stopsetups \startsetups extract:stop \startstopparameter{author} \stopdextract \blank[1ex,samepage] \hrule \blank[1ex,samepage] \dontleavehmode \wordright{\itx\startstopparameter{author}} \stopsetups \starttext \startextract[author=René Descartes] Cogito ergo sum. \stopextract \stoptext but first i want Wolfgang to check the patch, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

but first i want Wolfgang to check the patch,
For me, Wolfgang's answer fulfills all my needs. So, from my point of view, this is not needed anymore. Thank you for your effort anyway! Gerion

Really cool! Thank you. If I see it right, this is completely generic, so with this it is possible to define any start<something> stop<something> with completely variable arguments. Gerion

I tried to combine this with the code of the mail thread: "setuphead in connection with the command argument" but had not luck.

The userdata environment uses the buffer mechanism of Context which has a few limitations where you can use it, e.g. putting the environment in the arguments of other commands (like the setup-environment above) fails. One way to avoid this is to replace the \startextract ... \stopextract in this case with the code for the quoted text, another way is to put all content in a buffer and just load the buffer in the setups-environment. \startbuffer[my_chapter] \startlocalheadsetup \startframed[chapter_frame] ... \stopframed \stoplocalheadsetup \stopbuffer \startsetups[my_chapter] \getbuffer[my_chapter] \stopsetups Wolfgang

Thanks, I solved it by embedding the extract code directly (more less). Gerion
