expansion inside PDF annotations

expansion inside PDF annotations

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \setupinteraction[state=start]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
    Attached on \currentdate.
    \attachment
        [http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf]
        [author={Attached on \currentdate},
         title={Attached on \currentdate}]
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

How can I get \currentdate expanded in the PDF annotation?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Can you try \rawdate[] (the argument is mandatory).

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

This works fine, but I’m afraid this is a workaround (I mean, I cannot
even add the the \currentime [not to mention other commands]).

Full expansion would be extremely useful with all features that are
enabled by \setupinteraction.

I reported this issue before:
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/089035.html.

Sorry, I don’t know whether this is real full expansion or prerolling.
This is the way Hans names both directives for bookmarks and PDF
document information:

    \enabledirectives[interaction.identity.preroll]
    \enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll]

In any case, I think there is a good use for commands inside interactive
contents in ConTeXt.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
