Hi today , while writing some code I have made a mistake like this \input combine[file=depliant-block.pdf] instead of \input combine (I have combine.tex in my path of course) After a while I have thought : "Is it possibile to implement this (as a macro) in mkiv ?" I think yes, but I'm not sure (Of course, on can write things like \Input[style=combine, file=fo] and so on) -- luigi

parsing of \input is somewhat special as the name has to be delimited by a space or unexpandable token
I think yes, but I'm not sure
i dunny, but is some weird syntax you're proposing

indeed, or \loadfile[...] depending on your needs ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

hmm, grepping for \loadfile gives nothing (but I'm using a rather old context , contextversion : 2008.10.31 13:58 ) -- luigi

there is no \loadfile but there are many other variants -) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
