Hi Hans,

do you plan to add the \getbufferparagraphs command to MkIV or is it marked obsolete?

if needed i can do that (not much work) but i need to figure out the specs -)

I don’t need it, I was only interested what’s the purpose of the command and how it works (not so hard after reading the source). Wolfgang

we were typesetting examns where there is a large text and students have to answer questions about a specific paragraph so that one was repeated with the question (so: filtering, keeping line numbers right, etc)

Would a MkIV solution also work with nested buffers or limited or limited to unseated buffers like the MkII solution? There are also a few points in the setup which aren’t perfect: - Before and after values for each paragraph is set with \setupbuffer[before=…,after=…] but \setupbufferparagraph[before=…,after=…] seems better because it separates between the buffer as a single block and between the individual paragraphs. - The offset for the paragraphs to be skipped is set with \setupbuffer[paragraph=<number>] but “start=<number>” fits better in the normal numbering system. - Allow certain setups for individual paragraphs, e.g. \setupbufferparagraph[3][..,..=..,..] \setupbufferparagraph[first][..,..=..,..] \setupbufferparagraph[last][..,..=..,..] Wolfgang
