Defined command troubles

Defined command troubles

[Xan]

Hi,

I just want to define a shortcut for framedtexts...

That's it:

\def\important{\dodoubleempty\doimportant}
\def\doimportant[#1][#2]{\bgroup
    \ifsecondargument
       \startframedtext[background=#2,frame=off,width=broad]%
       #1
    \else
       \startframedtext[background=screen,frame=off,width=broad]%
       #1
    \fi
    \stopframedtext
    \egroup}

It works perfectly with \important[Anything] but not with \important[Anything][red].

By the other hand, I want to define 'important' for use with start and end (startimportant ... \stopimportant) and not with single command. How can I get it?

Thanks,
Xan.

To set colors for the background you need “background color,backgroundcolor=<name>”.

\defineframedtext
  [important]
  [background=screen,
   frame=off,
   width=broad]

\starttext

\startimportant
\input ward
\stopimportant

\startimportant[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
\input ward
\stopimportant

\stoptext
