Subject: \documentvariable (used in environment)
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:21:06 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d956ed7-147a-a77b-6b45-76c8f303fd1d@comcast.net> (raw)

Hello,

I have put the following in an environment

\startenvironment MYENVIRONMENT

\setupdocument
   [metadata:title={\documentvariable{title}},
    metadata:subtitle={\documentvariable{subtitle}},
    metadata:author={\documentvariable{author}},
    metadata:keywords={\documentvariable{keywords}}]

\stopenvironment




and correct use would be

\environment MYENVIRONMENT

\startdocument [title={My title}]

\stopdocument


because, of course, the environment contains more than \setupdocument 
such as font loading that should be done before the \startdocument.

The metadata does not get set properly, having to do with expansion or 
other notions of TeX that I never seem to get right. What might be the 
proper way of handling this?

Thank you

Alan
