Hi André,

I wonder whether I’m getting your point with the following sample:

  \showframe
  \setupinteraction[state=start]
  \starttext
  \startbuffer[abc]
  def foo(x):
  if x == 0:
      bar()
  else:
      baz(x)
  foo(x - 1)
  \stopbuffer
  \comment[location=leftmargin,
    space=yes,
    buffer=abc,
    title={Python code}]
    {}\typebuffer[abc]
  \stoptext

This might solve what you need. At least, this is the approach that I
use to provide text that can be directly copied.

I’m on Linux and last time I tested on Windows there were extra lines in
the comments.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo
