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} \starttext \startMyLines First line in caps, Second in bold, Others normal. Others normal. Others normal. \stopMyLines And again: \startMyLines First line in caps, Second in bold, Others normal. Others normal. Others normal. \stopMyLines \stoptext Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
