Hello,
how to define a macro to take the new-line character as end-of-parameter?
The following macro:
\def\T#1\par{#1}
takes everything until \par (or empty line as it equals \par primitive) as #1, so the following is valid:
\T abc def\par
\T abc
\T def
(#1 becomes: "abc def", "abc" and "def".)
How to define the same macro to accept end-of-line as end-of-parameter?
I tried (although I'm aware this may not lead to the goal):
\def\T#1^^M{#1}
or
\def\T#1\crlf{#1}
to allow writing:
\T abc def
\T abc
\T def
So how to define the macro?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Lukas

\bgroup
\obeylines
\gdef\foo{\bgroup\obeylines\dofoo}%
\gdef\dofoo#1
{\egroup%
“#1”}%
\egroup
\starttext
<\foo some text
>
\stoptext
but don’t use it because this isn’t context style and we have
already enough exceptions with \DESCRIPTION and \item.

Thanks for the piece of code.
The macro is temporary - not systematic.
It should just help me to restyle some copy-pasted text from Word to .mkiv source.
This way, I'm just prefixing such lines with e.g. \foo, no extra job is necassary, just to create a valid body of the macro (\dofoo).
