Hello,
this is my first post to this mailing list. I have played a little bit with latex and context before, and now I am trying context for real.
To get a feel for it, I am setting up a letter style for my self, and some problems are showing up now.
So here it goes ...
What I want to accomplish:
The user writes the address, and he should not have to use \crlf or have to use several distinct commands.
Why does the following not work?
\defineblock[Address] \setupblock[Address][ before=\starttyping, after=\stoptyping ]
you pick the two more complex mechanisms .. the ones that intercept the input stream
\setupblock[Address][ before=\startlines\tt, after=\stoplines, ]
will work ok for most text cases
\starttext \beginAddress Peter Pan Somewhere over the Rainbow Neverland \endAddress
\useblocks[Address]
Some more text.
\stoptext
And if you really need a typing environment, you can use buffers: \startbuffer[address] #whatver& \stopbuffer \getbuffer[address] or \typebuffer[address] Aditya
