It actually worked! Thank you so much for the example. I'll probably rewrite my module a bit to work more like your example above actually, but it even worked in the context of my module. Wow, this really saved my ass.

an alternative is to write a plugin forthe verbatim environment (see verb-ini to get an idea of what nasty things are involved with catcode changes).

Yeah, I was thinking of that actually, but didn't realize it as a possibility until I'd written a lot of code...guess I should rethink now.

So, did you complete your module? Is it ready for the public yet?

Yes. I haven't put it anywhere yet, but here's the 0.3 version of it. It even includes working module documentation! Read the =README for more information.

after I loooong time I finally managed to try your bnf module. It looks very good. And it even works with \mainlanguage[de] (it wasn't obvious, because you use "..." as a delimiter).

Thank you, I hope to make it _the_ BNF module for ConTeXt some day ;-). About the delimiters, if you know of a better way to do this, then please tell me, I've gone through about 3 different ways of doing this, but the current one, using \defineactivecharacter, has worked best so far. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
