Dear gang,
I'm trying to setup a definition that uses a natural table and could use
some guru help. Here is what I have so far:
===============
\def\Glyphbox{%
\setupframed[frame=off,align=middle,offfset=none]
\framed{\cbox{
\bTABLE[align=middle]
\bTR \bTD \gulistan#1 \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD #3 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
}}
}
==============
Some issues:
1. '#' is probably active and being used in the internals, so of course I
can't directly use it as an argument parameter. How do I work around it?
2. The '#1' at the end of '\gulistan' is meant to complete the name of a
defined font, then that same parameter is used as a name in the next row.
Am I doing this correctly? I.e., can I use an argument parameter to finish
off a command like this? [Yes, my low level TeX is really quite rusty].
3. Once this table is defined correctly it will be used in a larger table,
e.g.
==========
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
==========
with arguments appropriately filled.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice, and
Best wishes
Idris

Dear Knights,
Solved (I think):
================
\def\Glyphbox#1#2#3{%
\setupframed[frame=off,align=middle,offfset=none]
\framed{\cbox{
\bTABLE[align=middle]
\bTR \bTD \csname gulistan#1\endcsname \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD #3 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
}}
}
================
Silly me forgot the #1#2#3... and remembered csname; this is probably my
first time ever using it in a macro... We'll see if further issues arise...
Best wishes
Idris

There is no need for the table, you can do everything with \framed alone.
\define[3]\Glyphbox
{\framed[frame=off,align=middle]\bgroup
{\getvalue{gulistan#1}\fontchar{#2}}\\
\fontchar{#2}\\
#1\\
#3%
\egroup}
