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]{%
=C2=A0 \getXXXparameters
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 [paraA=3DdefaultValueForParameterA%
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 ,paraB=3D% or just empty
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 ,#1]%
=C2=A0 \doSomethingWith[\XXXparameter\paraA]%
=C2=A0 \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 no= t 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.

hi, all

For testing, I have a definition:

\define[9]\DE=
FINETEST{#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9}

context test=C2=A0can work fine, when I modify the above into: 

\define[10]\D=
EFINETEST{#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10}

I got a error:

test.tex: ! Illegal param=
eter number in definition of \DEFINETEST

From StackExchange, I got a answer:

Since ConTeXt = is based on TeX, the maximum number of 9 parameters is inherited

So, in Context mkiv, what should I do for more than 9 parameters?

Thanks!

Best Regards

Dillon
