defining commands

Hello all,

How do I define the \setuptitlepage and \placetitlepage commands in the
environment file? These commands are used as shown in the example below.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\environment docenv

\setuptitlepage[author=weare,
                      name=thisismyname,
                      draft=yes]

\starttext
\placetitlepage

\chapter{First}

kasj dlkasjdfl asdf
asdfkjaslfd jalsfd

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Thank you,
Marius

Since you do not explain what do you expect from both commands it's not 
possible to give you an answer but you can find on the wiki [1] a 
example for a \setuptitle and \placetitle command which can be copied 
and used in your document.

Thank you for the link, the answer to my question was as in the example you
gave, but with a single argument. The solution to my problem given below
works, but I can't find the answer to the following question. What is the
difference between \dosingleempty and \dosingleargument ?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\unprotect

\definesystemvariable {dt}

\def\setuptitle
  {\dosingleempty\dosetuptitle}

\def\dosetuptitle[#1]%
  {\def\dodosetuptitle##1%
     {\getparameters[\??dt][#1]}%
  \processcommalist[#1]\dodosetuptitle}

\def\placetitle
  {\startalignment[\v!middle]
   \blank[\v!force,2*\v!big]
   \@@dttitle
   \blank[3*\v!medium]
   \@@dtauthor
   \blank[2*\v!medium]
   \@@dtdate
   \blank[3*\v!medium]
   \stopalignment}

\setuptitle
  [\c!title=,
   \c!author=,
   \c!date=\currentdate]

\protect

the first one does not complain when no argument is given

using no macros ... wikifyable ...

\startsetups titlepage
     \startstandardmakeup
         \definedfont[SerifBold at 40pt]
         \setupinterlinespace
         \getvariable{document}{title}
         \vfill
         \definedfont[SerifBold at 20pt]
         \setupinterlinespace
         \getvariable{document}{author}
     \stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups

\setvariables
     [document]
     [title=Whatever,
      author=Not Me]

\setvariables
     [whatever]
     [set={\setup[whateverpage]}]

\startsetups whateverpage
     \startstandardmakeup
         \definedfont[SerifBold at 40pt]
         \setupinterlinespace
         \getvariable{whatever}{title}
         \vfill
     \stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups

\starttext
     \setups[titlepage]
     \setvariables[whatever][title=One]
     \setvariables[whatever][title=Two]
\stoptext

in the whatever case each setvariables will trigger a setup, so one has 
a sort of macro with key/value support

yes, for those getting the creeps of #1 an dso

btw, i'm sure that you've seen

\starttexdefinition blabla #1 #2

which like setups ignores spaces so one can have readable macros

I experimented a little with this:

----------------------------------------
\starttexdefinition BIS #1 #2
[#1 \ldots\ #2]
\stoptexdefinition

\starttext
\BIS1 23

\BIS{10}{20}30

\BIS {10}{20}30

\BIS{10} {20}30

\BIS{10}{20} 30

\BIS {10} {20}30

\BIS{10} {20} 30

\BIS {10} {20} 30
\stoptext
----------------------------------------

and get this:

----------------------------------------
[1 ... 2]3
[102030 ...
][102030 ...
][10 ...  20]30
[1020 ... 3]0
[10 ... 20]30
[10 ... 20] 30
[10 ... 20] 30
----------------------------------------

So it seems, that the first blank between command and #1 is optional. 
But the second between #1 and #2 is NEEDED. A last blank after #2 is 
not needed and not eaten.
