Subject: [NTG-context] Using structureuservariables before the heading
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 15:47:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZRAP278MB049582D8D099A027D1FBFE5C83F1A@ZRAP278MB0495.CHEP278.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

Hi,

is it possible to access a structureuservariable before the heading's title ?
Using the <before> key does not seem to work.

As an aside, I've tried to use the < command > key to provide my own command, but while \define works here (but ignores \blank), \def gives me an error.
Why is that?
How would you add blanks to a user-defined command?

Best,
Denis



\setuphead[chapter][
    before={Before: \structureuservariable{author}\blank},
    beforesection={Beforesection: \structureuservariable{author}\blank},
    insidesection={Insidesection: \structureuservariable{author}\blank},
    after={After: \structureuservariable{author}\blank},
    ]

\def\myChapterCommand#1#2{\structureuservariable{author}\space\blank}
\define[2]\myChapterCommand{\structureuservariable{author}\blank #1\space#2}
%\def\myChapterCommand#1#2{\structureuservariable{author}\blank #1\space#2} % does not work

\starttext
\macro{1}{2}

\startchapter[title=First][author=First Author]
\input knuth
\stopchapter

\startchapter[title=Second][author=Second Author]
\input knuth
\stopchapter

\setuphead[chapter]
    [
    before=,after=,beforesection=,insidesection=,
    command=\myChapterCommand,
    ]

\startchapter[title=Third][author=Third Author]
\input knuth
\stopchapter


\stoptext
