Title page of french phd thesis

Hi all,

I want to obtain something like this on my title page :

Composition du jury :
        Président :               M. Prénom NOM
        Rapporteurs :          M. Truc BIDULE                     de paris
                                         Mme Machin CHOUETTE     blabla
        Examinateurs :       M. Ano NYME

I would have macro to do this (inspired from thloria LaTeX package) like :
\President    = {M. Prénom NOM}
\Rapporteurs  = {M. Truc BIDULE&de Paris\\
                 Mme Machin CHOUETTE&blabla
                 }
\Examinateurs = {M. Ano NYME}

I have some ideas on how to do this but I need advices to know what's 
the best way to manage this issue.

Cheers,

What is "this", i.e. where's your problem?

How to format the title page? -- You could use a table.

Do you need the "jobs" multilingual? -- use \translate[fr=Président,  
de=Präsident, en=President]

How to define a macro? -- \def\President#1{\def\doPresident{#1}} (and  
use \doPresident in the table)
The letter style uses a similar approach; I'm just trying to enhance  
it, see the "serial definition" thread.

I don't think the "\Something = {Anything}" style is possible at all.
You could use keyval style like \MyTitle[president={M. Prénom NOM},  
somebodyelse={}], see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ 
Commands_with_KeyVal_arguments
I don't know how that could work with lists of persons.

My guess is these are defined as token registers in LaTeX, so you
would have to define only:

\newtoks\President

and use  \the\President inside the table.

Hi,

Of course but my question is in fact: Is it better to use a ConTeXt 
table or TeX primitives for a title page ?

I don't...

Ok, I'll try.


Thanks.

title pages are often made with

\startstandardmakeup
\vfil
\bfd \setupinterlinespace Whatever \par
\bfb \setupinterlinespace You Want \par
\vfil
\vfil
\stopstandardmakeup

kind of constructs, or (more fun), by putting things on a layer and 
flushing that one
