Dear list,

For TeX/LaTeX users there is the neat command line tool `texdef` with which you can show the definition of a macro.  Here an example:

$ texdef -t latex section

\section: \long macro:->\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@ }{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \Large \bfseries }

Is there something similar for ConTeXt?  It is quite tedious to either grep the full source or setup an extra dummy document to use \show or \meaning. i must admit that i never use \show for that ... anyhow, i'll provide

context --extra=meaning --once --pattern=*paper* context --extra=meaning --once setuplayout context --extra=meaning --once setup_layout in the next beta Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
