Hi,

How can I define a command that is the inline version of \startTEX ... \stopTEX. (I need to show inline commands in color). There had been a discussion on this in the past, and Taco had suggested a solution

http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20050907.093522.baf795f5.en.html

which is also posted on the wiki.

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text#In-line_text

However, due to the recent changes in verbatim code, that solution no longer works. Can anyone suggest how to fix it?

\setupcolors[state=start]

\setuptype[option=TEX]

\definetype[typeTEX][option=tex]

\starttext

\type+\type{\type is a wonderful macro}+, isn't it?

\typeTEX+\typeTEX{\typeTEX is a wonderful macro}+, isn't it?

\stoptext

Thanks, that looks easy :-)

However, there seems to be a bug, sometimes the color spills across the type boundary.

Is is possible that everything written with \tex{command} is also printed in color? I do not want to change \tex{command} to \type{\command} since \tex is more robust (No catcode trickery and stuff). Aditya

I wanted to warn you about that, but you were faster. A workaround is to create an additional space: so to \type{\commands }like that.

There are many bugs in \type-ing code, but the code is rather complex .... even Taco complaind about complexity.

Hopefully lua will be able to do the task better ;)

actually, the mkiv code does it completely different already, but that's on my machine -) Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

the problem is that we cannot mess around too much with egroup because otherwise we get into problems with alignments (which have their own idea about these things Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I understand that this is one of the more tricky things in TeX. Right now, Mojca's workaround of adding a space after the comand works most of the time. If there is a punctuations after the type+...+ one does not want a space between the type and the punctuation. \unskip and friends make the output look alright, but with a horrible looking source.

I hope that lua will make doing these things a bit easier.

in that case the whole pretty printing is done in lua ; in tex we have to use aftergroup stuff and the problem is that info is lost on the way (ok, there is a solution, but it involves messy macros because we want to use all that stuff nested as well) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
