Hello, this is my first post to this mailing list. I have played a little bit with latex and context before, and now I am trying context for real. To get a feel for it, I am setting up a letter style for my self, and some problems are showing up now. So here it goes ... What I want to accomplish: The user writes the address, and he should not have to use \crlf or have to use several distinct commands. Why does the following not work? \defineblock[Address] \setupblock[Address][ before=\starttyping, after=\stoptyping ] \starttext \beginAddress Peter Pan Somewhere over the Rainbow Neverland \endAddress \useblocks[Address] Some more text. \stoptext Kind regards, Ingo

\defineblock[Address] \setupblock[Address][ before=\starttyping, after=\stoptyping ]
you pick the two more complex mechanisms .. the ones that intercept the input stream \setupblock[Address][ before=\startlines\tt, after=\stoplines, ] will work ok for most text cases
\starttext \beginAddress Peter Pan Somewhere over the Rainbow Neverland \endAddress
\useblocks[Address]
Some more text.
\stoptext
Kind regards,

And if you really need a typing environment, you can use buffers: \startbuffer[address] #whatver& \stopbuffer \getbuffer[address] or \typebuffer[address] Aditya
Thank you for your answers, in my case, start-/stoplines is actually much better. Kind regards, Ingo
