Many thanks for your suggestion, Aditya. I’m afraid everything is forced to be in horizontal mode: \starttext \startbuffer[example-1] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \ConTeXt\ is awesome! \externalfigure[cow.pdf][scale=250] \stoptext \stopbuffer \placesidebyside {\typebuffer[example-1]} {\getbuffer[setups, example-1]} \stoptext \placeontopofeachother has the same feature. This causes that \placefigure cannot be used. Is there now hay to avoid the forced horizontal mode on both sides? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Ahoi again,

I’m preparing some ConTeXt docs with a lot of examples and would like to reproduce what we have in the wiki as

<context source="yes"> ... </context>

i.e. sourcecode beside the result.

Often the shown source is exactly what I want to show, in other cases I need some additional setup that I don’t want to show.

Which approach would you suggest? Combinations?

\startbuffer[example-1] .... \stopbuffer

\placesidebyside {\typebuffer[example-1]} {\getbuffer[setups, example-1]}

Thank you again, that should be enough for most of my small examples. I guess I never heard of or forgot about \placesidebyside as well as \placeontopofeachother. But I’d like to show a lot of similar examples to explain several options. Therefore, if I’d like to simplify my code, but this doesn’t work: \def\CodeExample#1{% \startbuffer[zB] #1 \stopbuffer \typebuffer[zB] \getbuffer[zB] } \CodeExample{\framed[frame=off,leftframe=on,rulethickness=1em,framecolor=blue]{Klotz am Bein}} Compilation just stops, maybe some infinite loop? Simpler: \def\CodeExample#1{% \startTEX #1 \stopTEX #1 } Stops with the error: Use of \m_syst_action_yes doesn't match its definition Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

You can't do that with buffers. If you need to define your own macros that behave like buffers, you need to use \grabbufferdata (see buff-ini.mkiv). But in this case, there is a simpler solution: \defineframed [CodeExampleFramed] [ frame=off, width=0.5\textwidth, align=normal, ] \definebuffer [CodeExample] \define\stopCodeExample {\placesidebyside {\CodeExampleFramed{\typeCodeExample}} {\CodeExampleFramed{\getCodeExample}}} \starttext \startCodeExample \framed [ frame=off, leftframe=on, rulethickness=1em, framecolor=blue, ]{Klotz am Bein} \stopCodeExample \stoptext

Oh, I overlooked something: Can I get pretty printing back, like in \startTEX ... \stopTEX? I couldn’t find any suitable setup options. This doesn’t work: \setupbuffer[CodeExampleB][before={\startTEX},after={\stopTEX}] Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
