Hi Wolfgang,

following your fancybreak module I put together dummy module.

··8<·····························································
\startmodule[test]

\unprotect

\startinterface all
  \setinterfacevariable {TEST} {TEST}
\stopinterface

\definenamespace[testns] [
  type=module,
  name=TEST,
  command=yes,
  setup=list,
]

\unexpanded\def\typetest{%
  \TESTparameter{teststyle}
  This is a test.%
}

\defineTEST[\v!TEST]

\setupTEST[
  teststyle=\sc
]

\protect
\endinput
··8<·····························································

When called like:
  \usemodule[test] \starttext \typetest \stoptext
it works as expected.

Could you please explain what these other parameters do:
  style=yes,
  parent=fb
Also, what other values would the parameter ‘setup’ accept
besides ‘list’?

What information should go into this list? In my dummy, the
namespace ‘testns’ declares the \defineXX and \setupXX commands,
where XX=name and name=TEST. Thus if I am not mistaken, namespace
clashes might occur both a) among the \????…, and b) among the
\setup…|\define… commands.

A table on the wiki will need at least three columns:

+-----------+------------+---------------------+
| Namespace | Setup      | Reserved for module |
+===========+============+=====================+
| fb        | fancybreak | Fancy Break         |
+-----------+------------+---------------------+
| …         | …          | …                   |

Is this OK so far? Anything critical I missed?

Philipp
