Two questions about buffers
Hello, I have two questions concerning buffers. 1. What is the difference between \grabbufferdata and \dostartbuffer? 2. I wanted to use buffers to define my own "environment" (as Wolfgang suggested to me a few days ago). However, there's a problem with \baselineskip; here is an example: \starttext \def\startMyEnv{\dostartbuffer[MyEnv][startMyEnv][stopMyEnv]} \def\stopMyEnv{{\tfxx\getbuffer[MyEnv]\par}} \input tufte \startMyEnv \input knuth \stopMyEnv \input tufte \stoptext Am I doing something wrong here? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

\tfxx just switches a font and does not adapt the baseline use \switchtobodyfont[small] or \tfxx\setupinterlinespace instead ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

You can use the annotation module for your environment. \usemodule[annotation] \defineannotation[MyEnv][style=\txx] \starttext \input tufte \startMyEnv \input knuth \stopMyEnv \input tufte \stoptext Wolfgang

There is no difference, \grabbufferdata is just the new name for \dostartbuffer in MkIV and it’s recommended to use the name name. Wolfgang
