\paragraph should give warning when \startkantlijn active

\paragraph should give warning when \startkantlijn active

[Berend de Boer]

Hai Hans,

I'm using \startkantlijn a lot, but frequently I forget or delete a 
stopkantlijn. TeX gives the following error:

! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
                }
<to be read again>
                   \endgroup
l.1934 \stophoofdteksten

? x

Searching through large documents (with many subdocuments is time 
consuming). Can \paragraph not give an error when a \startkantlijn is 
active? A \startkantlijn cannot go across different paragraphs anyway (at 
least it doesn't work, either intentional or not).

Groetjes,

Berend.

Ah, the trick margin rules. Maybe you should use text annotations
(\startcomment text \stopcomment in interactive mode}. You can color
them, and they automatically stack in the margin of the next paragraph.
See 1998-001.pdf .

\def\setupmarginrules%
  {\dodoubleargument\getparameters[\??ka]}

\definecomplexorsimple\startmarginrule

\def\simplestartmarginrule%
  {\bgroup
   \let\drawmarginrule=\relax
   \let\stopmarginrule=\dostopmarginrule
   \beginofshapebox}

\def\complexstartmarginrule[#1]%
  {\bgroup
   \let\drawmarginrule=\relax
   \ifnum#1<\@@kaniveau\relax
     \let\stopmarginrule=\egroup
   \else
     \def\@@kadefaultwidth{#1}%
     \let\stopmarginrule=\dostopmarginrule
     \expandafter\beginofshapebox
   \fi}

\def\dostopmarginrule%
  {\endofshapebox
   \reshapebox
     {\hbox{\inlinkermarge{\dodrawmarginrule}\box\shapebox}}%
   \flushshapebox
   \egroup}

This comes from core-rul.tex and works with multiple paragraphs, and as
far as I can test does not generate the message when a \stop.. is
missing. 

This mechanism does not work well with e.g. opsommingen, ifonly because
tex does not offer hooks to unroll boxes etc etc savely (interfering
whatsits and so on).
