Somewhat related: it would be nice if there was some common code for
titles (books as well as articles). The Maps module currently defines
an article in this fashion:
\starttext
\startArticle
[Title=...,
Author=...,
RunningAuthor=...] % etc. etc.
\startAbstract
... abstract ...
\stopAbstract
\startKeywords
... comma-separated keywords ...
\stopKeywords
... body ...
\stopArticle
\stoptext
Obvious weak point: the Abstract / Keywords are too late to influence
typesetting of the title (page). Of course that could be fixed by using
named buffers and/or an explicit \maketitle-like command.
Anyway, the maps module contains all the code to do everything. And
the same is true for the TUG module. And for quite a few others I have
laying around. Lots of duplicate code all over, so a common framework
would be great. I've been meaning to write one for a long time, but
somehow I never quite get around to actually doing it.
Just saying this to let you know that I would really welcome a module
with commands like \setuptitle, \definetitle, and \placetitle.
Best wishes,
Taco
