Hi Dillon,
First of all, I'm against defining such a complex macro, since that can
be very
confusing when you use it. I personal prefer the key-value definition:
\def\DEFINETEST[#1]{%
\getXXXparameters
[paraA=defaultValueForParameterA%
,paraB=% or just empty
,#1]%
\doSomethingWith[\XXXparameter\paraA]%
\doSomethingElse...
}
You might want to refer to the following link and other valuable
materials on the
wiki for more information:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Key_Value_Assignments
If you insist on that, I guess you can define a temporary macro inside
your macro.
That's very dirty, but can be a little more efficient? I'm not sure.
I was given to understand that the ConTeXt MKVI now accepts parameters
such as
#position#color rather than meaningless #1#2. I GUESS that's lua-based,
so maybe
it'll break the TeX limitation.
