Subject: how to dismantle parametrized macro
Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 16:14:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030520141437.GB1572@ruhrau.de> (raw)

Dear ConTeXters,

I am a bit stuck about how to handle the key-value mechanism of ConTeXt.
The text here, between my "monkey-see-monkey-do"
attempts to write a macro, hopefully demonstrates what I want to achieve.
Could sb give me a hand?

Thank you very much


Johannes
