Hi, may be I do not get it correctly, but there is a command \startlines ... \stoplines. Willi John Culleton wrote:

hello
i have a little verbatim problem
i used the \startEIFFEL \stopEIFFEL verbatim environment in a verry simple way like this:
Similarly I needed to have the program obey line breaks as in \obeylines but interpet the lines (font changes etc.) in the usual way. I did not want space left between lines. Neither the plain TeX nor the Context solutions fit this purpose exactly, but plain was closer. So I cobbled up this code: \def\startobey{\medskip\setupwhitespace[none]\obeylines} \def\stopobey{\setupwhitespace[small] \medskip}
I start the section needing verbatim line endings with {\startobey .... and end it with \stopobey}
I don't know if the braces are necessary but the TeXBook seems to imply such.
My solution tends to ignore blank lines so I have to put a \medskip instead of a blank line.
This is a terrible solution but the best I could come up with in a hurry. No doubt someone will suggest a better one.
BTW whre is \startEIFFEL documented? I don't recall seeing it before.
