Subject: macro expansion inside a block
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:13:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vb63yw2f.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I want to expand a macro inside a block when the block is written and not when it is used.
Here a simple example:
\defineblock[myblock]
\hideblocks[myblock]
\starttext
\define\mynumber{1}
Some text: mynumber is :\mynumber
\beginmyblock
This is mynumber inside the first myblock, I want 1 and I obtain: \mynumber
\endmyblock
\define\mynumber{2}
Some text: mynumber now is :\mynumber
\beginmyblock
This is mynumber inside the second myblock, I want 2 and I obtain: \mynumber
\endmyblock
\useblocks[myblock]
\stoptext
This produce:
Some text: mynumber is :1
Some text: mynumber now is :2
This is mynumber inside the first myblock, I want 1 and I obtain: 2
This is mynumber inside the second myblock, I want 2 and I obtain: 2
instead I want:
Some text: mynumber is :1
Some text: mynumber now is :2
This is mynumber inside the first myblock, I want 1 and I obtain: 1
This is mynumber inside the second myblock, I want 2 and I obtain: 2
It is possible in some way?
