own lists in table

own lists in table

[Balazs Nagy]

Hi,

I'd like to create a list in the format 

\subsubsubsection{List of <type>}

\head\KF{<Name>}{<param1>}{<param2>}

<description>

\head\KF...

then put into a table like

\bTR\bTD <name>\eTD\bTD <param1> \eTD\bTD <param2>\eTD\bTD <type>\eTD\eTR

I made a macro called \KF which prints the list, but I don't know how can I
reuse the data in other format.

Is the only way generating the tex document from a template?  It would be
nice to have a contents generator like toc.

You cannot use existing mechanisms due to grouping. Try something 

\def\ToMyList#1#2#3#4%
  {\immediate\write\MyList{\noexpand\processmylist{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}}}

\newwrite\MyList \immediate\openout \MyList=list.xxx

\starttext 

\ToMyList{a}{b}{c}{d}
\ToMyList{a}{b}{c}{d}
\ToMyList{a}{b}{c}{d}

\immediate\closeout\MyList

\def\processmylist#1#2#3#4%
  {\bTR\bTD#1\eTD\bTD#2\eTD\bTD#3\eTD\bTD#4\eTD\eTR}

\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD1\eTD\bTD2\eTD\bTD3\eTD\bTD4\eTD\eTR
\readfile{list.xxx}{}{}
\eTABLE

\def\processmylist#1#2#3#4%
  {\hbox{[#1][#2][#3][#4]}\par}

\readfile{list.xxx}{}{}

\stoptext
