Re: [NTG-context] Real help on \dostartbuffer needed

27 Apr 2010


      This time, it is not working, and I do not have any idea why.

\defineenumeration[ENUM][]
\definebuffer[Entity,before=\startENUM,after=\stopENUM]

\starttext

\startEntity
\input tufte
\stopEntity

\stoptext

fails with 

! Missing \endcsname inserted.

Mmm... \getbuffer[LST] obviously
Sorry for the noise

Hi,
I'm trying to deal with \dostartbuffer.
I found an old message on the ML about \dostartbuffer
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg08222.html
and its is pretty what I want except that I do not know how can I get
access to the buffer :)
For instance,
\def\startLST[#1]%
   {\def\stopLST{End of #1}%
    \dostartbuffer[LST][startLST][stopLST]}
\starttext
 \startLST[whatever]
 bla bla
 \stopLST
 alb alb
 \stoptext
will print End of whateveralb alb. I just want to get the content blabla in \stopLST.
I guess, it should not be hard :)
