Mostly for the sake of doing so, I am writing a presentation in ConTeXt. I thought that defining a start-stop would be a good way to split up slides. So I have something like:

\definestartstop[Slide][after={\break}]
...
\startSlide
  \subject{Title}
  \subsubject{Subtitle}
\stopSlide

My question is, given that every slide will have a title and a subtitle, is there a way to wrap the \subject and \subsubject up in the \definestartstop and provide the values when the start-stop begins?

I haven't found anything that is related to this and I know start-stops don't take arguments, so how might you do something like that? If I am going about the problem wrong, what would be the ConTeXt way?

Why don't you use the regular \startsection ... \stopsection and \startsubsection? That will give you the benefit of being able to add the title. And you can define every section to equal one slide. – Thomas Jul 4 '12 at 20:37

Have a look at the annotation module by Wolfgang Schuster and search the ConTeXt mailing list for usage examples. – Aditya Jul 9 '12 at 12:46
