Here is my code so far. I want to show a file in verbatim form. It
compiles but here is no frame around the text and there is no
caption.
Hi,
this works here:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\starttext
\startbuffer[ex1]
\typefile[]{test.tex}
\stopbuffer
\placefigure[here][fig:ex1]
{Example 1}
{\framed{\externalfigure[ex1.buffer][width=.75\textwidth]}}
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Why do you use a buffer?
\starttext
\startplacefigure[reference=fig:ex1,title=Example 1]
  \framed[align=flushleft,width=.75\textwidth]{\typefile{test.tex}}
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext

Possibly Peter used it because I used it. I used it because the
example I followed in The Manual used a buffer. As it happens his
example works better. My "example1.tex" is knuth.tex with two minor
modifications. His version with the buffer reduces the size of
the Knuth text to fit the frame. Your version wraps the text instead on
each line. For my purposes the facsimile representation is better.

However thanks to both for adding to my education. Unfortunately I
forget things as fast as I learn them these days. It is not
Alzheimer's disease but just plain oldtimers disease.
