All, I have: \startMatlab function output=primary(input) statements---including subfunction calls % first subfunction function out=one(in) statements % second subfunction function out=two(in) statments \stopMatlab Where: \definetyping[Matlab] \setuptyping [Matlab] [before={\startframedtext[width=\textwidth, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}, indentnext=no, color=darkred] I'd like to override the monotype and make one line emphasized, as in: \startMatlab function output=primary(input) {\em statements---including subfunction calls} % first subfunction function out=one(in) statements % second subfunction function out=two(in) statments \stopMatlab Which of course doesn't work but it does give an idea of what I want to try. Any ideas?
