Hi Dillon There is also a purely plaintex solutions for example: % Here is Peter Olsak solution (see TBN: ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/olsak/tbn/tbn.pdf - czech only) \def\terminator{*} \def\usethereadvalues{} \newcount\tempnum \def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readonlyone \next} \def\readonlyone #1, {\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}% % \the\tempnum - \param\par% \ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\usethereadvalues \else\expandafter\def \csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}% \fi\next} \def\var#1{\csname #1\endcsname} \starttext % Read any number of parameters, terminator is * now \readparameters 471-44/2007, 474-44/2007, 464-44/2007, 465-44/2007, 461-44/2007, 472-44/2007, 473-44/2007, 475-44/2007, 469-44/2007, 455-44/2007, AA, BBB, 124, *, % Parameters are now in macros \type{\var{param1}}, \type{\var{param2}}, \type{\var{param3}}, \dots : \blank[big] \dorecurse{16}{parameter \recurselevel is : \var{param\recurselevel}\crlf} \blank[big] % OR % put parameters into macro: \def\parameters{A, B, XXL, QWE, 123, Hello, End, TeX, Solution, XSE, Flag, Prague, Paris, New York, last value, *, } % and now read parameters: \expandafter\readparameters\parameters \dorecurse{16}{parameter \recurselevel is : \var{param\recurselevel}\crlf} \stoptext Jaroslav Hajtmar Dne 5. 7. 2015 v 3:55 土卜皿 napsal(a):
hi, all
For testing, I have a definition:
|\define[9]\DEFINETEST{#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9}|
|context test| can work fine, when I modify the above into:
|\define[10]\DEFINETEST{#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10}|
I got a error:
|test.tex: ! Illegal parameter number in definition of\DEFINETEST|
From StackExchange, I got a answer:
Since ConTeXt is based on TeX, the maximum number of 9 parameters is inherited
So, in Context mkiv, what should I do for more than 9 parameters?
Thanks!
Best Regards
Dillon
