Hello, list. Also posted this to:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/124494/simple-macro-does-not-work-with-context-why

ConTeXt version: 2013.06.10 22:51

MWE:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
    \define[1]\anios{{\tfx \inmagin{#1}}}

    \starttext
    {\tfx \inmargin{2008-2012}}This is what has been done so far in
this years. % this works...
    \anios{2008-2012}This is what has been done so far in this years.
% this doesn't work...
    \stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Error message:    system          > tex > error on line 5 in file
[...]/MWE.tex: Undefined control sequence ...

Any ideas? Maybe is something stupid, but it doesn't work. I have
other `\define` commands in the same file and they work very well.

Should the definition not be
  \define[1]\anios{{\tfx \inmagin{#1}}}
…………………………\inmargin….?

\inmagin would do the job with Knuth's new iTeX¹ system² but it's
not yet available in ConTeXt, which still uses legacy TeX. In the
near future it's unlikely that iTeX will be merged with ConTeXt,
although it's on the agenda for LuaTeX 2.0 ;)

Marco

¹ ring ring
² It has built-in spell check and is of interpreting unknown
  commands based on the context, so \inmagin would work just fine.
