Hello,
how could I build some macros, that make usage of \startbuffer and
\stopbuffer?
Example:
\def\startXXX[#1]{\doSomeMagicSetups{#1}%
\startbuffer[...]}
\def\stopXXX{\stopbuffer
\doSomeSpecialWorkHere}
And then:
\startXXX[some options]
some text
\stopXXX
TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter

For those, who are interested, here in detail what I'm trying to do:
I still like the LaTeX listings.sty package very much, but porting it to
ConTeXt would be too much work for me. So why not using a wrapper?
Somewhere in the PATH I put the file createListing.sh:
#!/bin/bash
echo '\documentclass{article}\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{language=C++,tabsize=4}\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}\begin{lstlisting}{}' >$1-lst-ltx.tex
cat $1-lst.tmp >>$1-lst-ltx.tex
echo '\end{lstlisting}\end{document}' >>$1-lst-ltx.tex
latex $1-lst-ltx
dvips -E -o $1-lst-ltx.eps $1-lst-ltx
Then the ConTeXt-file:
\starttext
Here is a listing:
\startbuffer[lst]
#include

I hope this helps: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% buf.tex % use colors \setupcolors[state=start] % this defines a new type of buffer called XXX, so that % the commands \startXXX ... \stopXXX, \getXXX and % \typeXXX are now defined \definebuffer[XXX] % two sentinel definitions are placed before and after % the actual buffer content, as fetched by \getXXX \setupbuffer[XXX][before={\beforeXXX},after={\afterXXX}] % Do not call \getXXX directly, but use a special % command to pass options to \beforeXXX and \afterXXX \def\finishXXX{\dosingleempty\dofinishXXX} \def\dofinishXXX[#1]{{\getparameters[XXX][Color=green,#1]\getXXX }} % within the next commans, there is now a set if parameters % starting with \XXX, initialized by the \getparameters % call in the macro above. \def\beforeXXX{\startcolor[\XXXColor]} \def\afterXXX{\stopcolor} % below here is an example \starttext \startXXX Here is some text \stopXXX \finishXXX % defaults to using green text. \finishXXX[Color=blue] % same text, but in blue \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% buf.tex

[...] Hello Hans and Taco, thank you for your hints, but I think, I did not explain my question well enough... I fact, all I need is to know, how I could write some verbatim text between 2 commands (\startXXX...\stopXXX) into a file, but with my own macros. Here an example in detail: \newcount\LSTnum \newwrite\LSTfile \def\LSTfileprefix{\jobname-LST\LSTnum} \def\startLST[#1]#2\stopLST{% \immediate\openout\LSTfile=\LSTfileprefix.tmp \immediate\write\LSTfile{#2}% Here I seek a solution for verbatim text! \immediate\closeout\LSTfile \immediate\write18{createListing.sh \LSTfileprefix #1}% #1 is for \lstset \externalfigure[\LSTfileprefix] \advance\LSTnum by 1 } and then, the user types only: \startLST[language=C] main() { return 0; } \stopLST It's already possible to do this with some further macros (\finishLST after \stopLST for example), but I prefer only one \start/\stop pair. Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
This should help: \def\startLST[#1]% {\def\stopLST{End of #1}% \dostartbuffer[LST][startLST][stopLST]} This is almost the same as: \definebuffer[LST] \def\stopLST{End of LST} Except that it is a little bit more low-level and thereby allows an argument to \startLST. Using a local definition if \stopLST is another trick, to lift the argument to the end of the buffer. A less sophisticated but clearer approach is: \def\startLST[#1]% {\def\LSTArgs{#1}% \dostartbuffer[LST][startLST][stopLST]} \def\stopLST{End of \LSTArgs} Full example: \def\startLST[#1]% {\def\stopLST{End of #1}% \dostartbuffer[LST][startLST][stopLST]} \starttext \startLST[whatever] bla bla \stopLST alb alb \stoptext You'll have to fill in the commands etc. yourself of course.

I once made the option \usememorybuffers but i'm not sure if it does the same ==== Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Thank you very very much!! This can be the base for some really nice modules, that I'm going to write. Of course, I'll put them on the wiki! Greeting, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
