Hello Taco,
thank you for your 'quickstart'!
I've just tried to apply \getparameters to the \Changes macro on the Wiki
(http://contextgarden.net/Changes). But there is a problem and any help
would be nice.

Here is the new macro:

\def\Changes#1[#2]{%
  \getparameters[CH][#2]% Auteur, Modif, Labels, Date
  \ifnum\RevC=0 \BigTitle \vskip0.5ex \Vfil \startChanges \fi
  \global\advance\RevC by 1 \VL \the\RevC \VL \CHDate \VL \CHModif \VL
  XXX%\In[\CHLabels,\relax] % does not work, but not so important for now
  \VL \CHAuteur \VL\AR\HL}

And later on, the usage of the macro:

\Changes[Date=1/2/2004,Modif=First version,Auteur=Peter]
\Changes[Date=3/4/2004,Modif=Some modifications,Lables={sec:S1,sec:S2},
  Auteur=Peter Münster]
\Changes[Date=5/6/2004,Modif=Some other modifications,Lables={sec:S2},
  Auteur=Peter]

The problem:
the parameter values are not updated in the two last calls of the macro.

Regards, Peter
