Hi,
would it make sense to have, in addtion to e.g. \section a start..stop
pair?
such as
\startsection{my section name}
\stopsection
with something like
\let\startsection\section
\let\stopsection\relax
This way the text would be slightly more structured.
For now:
=====================
\def\startchapter[#1]#2%
        {\getparameters[Chapter][#1]\chapter{#2}}
\def\stopchapter{}
\def\startsection[#1]#2%
        {\getparameters[Section][#1]\section{#2}}
\def\stopsection{}
\def\startsubsection[#1]#2%
        {\getparameters[Subsection][#1]\subsection{#2}}
\def\stopsubsection{}
Hi,

you can avoid all these definition by changing the \definisection
commands in core-sec. YOu nedd only a few extra lines at the end from
the \dododefinehead macro.

Just add:

\setvalue{\e!start#1}##1[##2]%
     {\getparameters[\??se\??se#1][\c!ref=,\c!title=,##2]%
      \getvalue{#1}[\getvalue{\??se\??se#1\c!ref}]{\getvalue{\??se\??
se#1\c!title}}}% \setvalue{\e!stop#1}{\relax}

for Tacos version.

\startsetion[ref=...,title=...]
...
\stopsection

or add:

\setvalue{\e!start#1}{\getvalue{#1}}%
\setvalue{\e!stop#1}{\relax}

for Patricks version.

\startsection[reference]{title}
...
\stopsection
...
\def\startfootnote[#1]#2%
        {\getparameters[Footnote][#1]\footnote\bgroup#2}
\def\stopfootnote{\egroup{}}
=====================
\def\startfootnote[#1]#2\stopfootnote
  {\footnote[#1]{#2}}

We need something in core-not that creates start/stop commands for
everything defined with \definenote. It is not as easy as extending the
section commands.
...
All based on a note from Taco; I don't really know how it works...
The footnote one needs a % at the end of the preceding line, don't know  
how to gobble it:
text.%
\startfootnote[]
note.	
\stopfootnote{}
text
Further: I now use fake start-stops in my environments/preambles. In  
conjunction with an editor that can handle TeX-syntax folding, they area  
really good organizing tools. So I have a file startstops.tex with totally  
naive things like
=======================
\let\startENV=\relax 			\let\stopENV=\relax
\let\startLET=\relax 			\let\stopLET=\relax
\let\startFONTS=\relax 			\let\stopFONTS=\relax
\let\startLISTS=\relax 			\let\stopLISTS=\relax
\let\startPAPER=\relax 			\let\stopPAPER=\relax
\let\startTITLE=\relax 			\let\stopTITLE=\relax
\let\startLAYOUT=\relax 		\let\stopLAYOUT=\relax
\let\startBIBLIO=\relax 		\let\stopBIBLIO=\relax
\let\startALIASES=\relax 		\let\stopALIASES=\relax
\let\startSTRUCTURE=\relax 		\let\stopSTRUCTURE=\relax
\let\startSTARTSTOPS=\relax 		\let\stopSTARTSTOPS=\relax
\let\startDESCRIPTIONS=\relax 		\let\stopDESCRIPTIONS=\relax
\let\startINTERACTIONS=\relax 		\let\stopINTERACTIONS=\relax
=======================
Syntax-folding makes things soooo much easier and efficient.
