Hello Wolfgang and Luigi,

My example lines are too small to fully understand the purpose of using the gobbleinput instruction :
I have made some slides for my students that I can choose or not ton include in the final presentation :

\skipSlide
\startSlide
bla bla bla
\startyping
language C code
\stoptyping
bla bla bla
\stopSlide

I've made some macros to include or not a slide according to its number given into a list or by just putting before the macro \skipSlide.
This is very useful as I have students of different levels.

The gobbleinput solution is the best solution : I can activate or not a slide according to my audience.

If I use the buffer solution, I'll not be able to deactivate the whole slide containing the typing region.

From my understanding, I've used the gobbleinput command as in shell :
cat << EOF
one
two
three
EOF

And now, I've ran into this problem.

Hello,

I've made a lot of improvement to my slides format for my teaching material and I've run into a serious issue with gobbleinput that I can express with with simple lines :

\starttext
\gobbleuntil\stoptyping
\starttyping
{ printf("%d", data); }
\stoptyping
This is ignored ! 
\stoptext

How can I use correctly gobbleinput to make it works ?

Replace the typing environment with normal buffers and use the \typebuffer command to print the content of the buffer.

\starttext

\startbuffer
{ printf("%d", data); }
\stopbuffer
%\typebuffer
This is ignored ! 

\stoptext

Wolfgang
