Here is my code so far. I want to show a file in verbatim form. It compiles but here is no frame around the text and there is no caption.

Hi,

this works here:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \starttext \startbuffer[ex1] \typefile[]{test.tex} \stopbuffer \placefigure[here][fig:ex1] {Example 1} {\framed{\externalfigure[ex1.buffer][width=.75\textwidth]}} \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Why do you use a buffer? \starttext \startplacefigure[reference=fig:ex1,title=Example 1] \framed[align=flushleft,width=.75\textwidth]{\typefile{test.tex}} \stopplacefigure \stoptext Wolfgang

Possibly Peter used it because I used it. I used it because the example I followed in The Manual used a buffer. As it happens his example works better. My "example1.tex" is knuth.tex with two minor modifications. His version with the buffer reduces the size of the Knuth text to fit the frame. Your version wraps the text instead on each line. For my purposes the facsimile representation is better. However thanks to both for adding to my education. Unfortunately I forget things as fast as I learn them these days. It is not Alzheimer's disease but just plain oldtimers disease. John Culleton
