(re)defining command with options

(re)defining command with options

[Florian Grammel]

While visualising index-entires in the margin using \version[temporary] isn't implemented for MkIV yet, I'd like to define a basic stand-in in the meantime:

\setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer, style=itxx]
\define[1]\myindex{\index{#1}%
					\inmargin{#1}%
				}

But occurrences of e.g.

\myindex[CONTEXT]{\ConTeXt}

break these simple definitions.

Is there an easy way to define commands with options and/or patching (extending) existing commands?




Thanks in advance!
Florian.

  \index[#1]{#2}%
}

How could I possibly have overlooked this?!

Thanks a lot!
