Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A7,landscape] \def\slide#1{\startstandardmakeup#1\stopstandardmakeup} \def\codeslide#1{\startstandardmakeup \starttyping#1\stoptyping\stopstandardmakeup} \starttext \startstandardmakeup \ConTeXt \stopstandardmakeup \slide{\ConTeXt} \slide{\starttyping\ConTeXt\stoptyping} \codeslide{\ConTeXt} \startstandardmakeup \starttyping \ConTeXt \stoptyping \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext And two questions: Why the third makeup gives such verbose output? Why does \codeslide not work? I guess this may be related to expansion, but I must confess that I don’t know what expansion really is. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
