With the xtags-* pretty printing macros, I can't find a common interface for pretty printing. For instance, to typeset my XML code at a small size, and using a grayscale palet, I require three different setups depending on whether I'm using \showXMLbuffer, \typebuffer, or \startXML ... \stopXML. % override xtag-* pretty printing options \definepalet [xtag] [0=grayprettyone, 1=grayprettytwo, 2=grayprettythree, 3=grayprettyfour] \def\ShowXMLBuffer{\bgroup\tfx\showXMLbuffer\egroup} % local override of global verbatim typing \def\TypeXMLBuffer% {\bgroup \setuptyping[option=XML,palet=graypretty,style=\tfx]% \typebuffer \egroup} % global XML pretty printing \setuptyping [XML] [palet=graypretty,style=\tfx,indentnext=no] As you can see, although each is trivial to customize but they don't share a common interface with each other. Am I just missing the context-way of achieving the above pretty printing?
