What is the best way to define the equivalent of
\setvalue{\e!start\NAME}{...}
in lua.
e_start = ??
context.setvalue(e_start .. name, "...")
Thanks,
Aditya

\startluacode
context.setvalue("foo","\\framedtext")
context.setvalue(table.concat({"start","foo"}),"\\startframedtext")
context.setvalue(table.concat({"stop" ,"foo"}),"\\stopframedtext" )
\stopluacode
\starttext
\foo{foo}
\startfoo bar\stopfoo
\stoptext
You can also write “context.setvalue("start".."foo","…")” but table.concat
looks better but the question is why don’t you use just tex
to create the start/stop commands.

This would just create \startfoo. \setvalue{\e!start foo} creates a
interface specific command. The code that Hans posted does that. I am
sorry that this was not clear in the question.

OK.

Because I find it much easier to understand expansion at lua level than at
TeX level.
Thanks,
Aditya

\starttext
\startluacode
local elements = interfaces.complete.elements
local interface = storage.shared.currentinterface
local e_start = elements.start[currentinterface]
local e_stop = elements.stop [currentinterface]
context.setvalue(e_start .. "something", "[[")
context.setvalue(e_stop .. "something", "]]")
\stopluacode
\startsomething Yes we can!\stopsomething
\stoptext
(i should probably preload elements as well)

start[currentinterface] => start[interface]
a next beta will have interfaces.elements
