Hi,
is it possible to define a block, where lines are automatically formatted differently?
For example:
first line in caps,
second in bold,
others normal.
Is this possible? And how?
If you mean input lines, then yes. But if you mean output lines, then I don't know. It seems a well-defined task, but a hard task judging by how the line-breaking algorithm is described by Knuth. I'll leave that question to experts.
Here's a way to process the input lines. If there's a counter that counts the line number, there would be another way; but I couldn't find out that there was a counter. There may be better ways anyway.
\define\FirstLine{\let\myLine\SecondLine\sc}
\define\SecondLine{\let\myLine\OtherLine\bf}
\define\OtherLine{\tf}
\definelines[doMyLines][command=\myLine]
\def\startMyLines{\let\myLine\FirstLine\startdoMyLines}
\def\stopMyLines{\stopdoMyLines}
As I said that works, but while trying to understand this, I found
that the documentation for \definelines doesn't mention the
"command=" option. On the other hand it does mention "align=" and
this doesn't work. Neither does \setuplines.
I always get "undefined control sequence".
\definelines[doFirstBoldRight][command=\myLine]
\setupdoFirstBoldRight[align=flushleft]
