Making all bold faced text colored?

Making all bold faced text colored?

[Alasdair McAndrew]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 183 bytes --]

In some overheads, I'd like all bold-faced font to appear in a given color,
say red.  How do I set this up, so that {\bf some text} will display "some
text" in red?

Thanks,
Alasdair

Fonts and colors are unrelated properties (and always will be in 
context). The way to go is abstraction:

\definestartstop[important][color=red,style=bold]

test {\important test} or \important{test} test ...

Thank you very much - that makes sense!

I'm moving slowly to ConTeXt after many years of LaTeX - so expect lots of
elementary questions from me, at least initially!

Thanks again,
Alasdair
