The ConTeXt manual tells me on page 237: You can define your own buffer with: \definebuffer[...] ... name After this command /getbuffer and \typebuffer are available where buffer is the name of the buffer. I do: \definebuffer[left] \startbuffer[left] left\crlf \stopbuffer \typeleft and it gives me the error: ! Undefined control sequence. \typeleft ->\dodotypebuffer [left][def-3] l.92 \typeleft then I try: \typebuffer[left] this gives a typeset message [file examdoc-def-2.tmp does not exist] (file examdoc.tex being the containing tex file) when I try \getbuffer[left] or \getleft nothing at all seems to happen? Why doesn't it work according to the manual? Or do I misunderstand the manual completely? Hans van der Meer

If you just want to "tag" buffers, you do not need to define new ones. You can simply do \startbuffer[test] Hello world \stopbuffer \typebuffer[test] \getbuffer[test] Defining new buffers is useful if you do not want to call buffers by some other name. This does not allow you to "tag" the buffers. There is also a bug in core-buf.tex due to which \type<buffer> did not work. \unprotect \def\dodefinebuffer[#1][#2]% {\iffirstargument % else problems \doglobal\increment\nofdefinedbuffers \letvalue{\??bu#1\c!number}\nofdefinedbuffers \letvalue{\??bu#1\c!paragraph}\v!no \setevalue{\e!start#1}% {\noexpand\dostartbuffer[#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers][\e!start#1][\e!stop#1]}% \setevalue{\e!get#1}% {\noexpand\dodoprocessTEXbuffer[#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers]}% \setevalue{\e!type#1}% {\noexpand\dotypebuffer[#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers]}% % was {\noexpand\dodotypebuffer[#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers]}% \getparameters[\??bu#1][#2]% \fi} \protect \definebuffer[Example] \startExample Hello again \stopExample \typeExample %The above fix is needed for this. \getExample Aditya

Thanks, that solved it. Hans van der Meer

Hans, was this fixed. There is a typo in core-buf.tex and it is still present in latest "updateable" version (2006.08.02). Aditya
