Styling of included buffers or files

Styling of included buffers or files

[Jan U. Hasecke]

Hi all,

I am currently writing a text where I want to include text snippets
either by including files or including buffers.

What is the best way to style all these included buffers?

I know that I can do something like this:

\startcolumns
\getbuffer[Muenchen]
\stopcolumns

Or do something with \defineparagraph

Is it somehow possible to apply styles to all buffers that gets included
via \getbuffer by defining a special getbuffer-style?



TIA
juh

\setupbuffer has before and after keys which can be used. Example:

\setupbuffer
 [before=\blank\blackrule\startnarrower\BufferStyle,
  after=\stopnarrower\blackrule\blank]

%% alternatively define custom buffers
\definebuffer
 [foobar]

\setupblackrules
  [width=1cm,
   height=1pt,
   color=gray]

\definehighlight
  [BufferStyle]
  [style=smallitalic,
   color=blue]

\startbuffer
  \samplefile{knuth}
\stopbuffer

\starttext
  \samplefile{knuth}
  \getbuffer
  \samplefile{knuth}

\stoptext

So easy! I am humbled. For some reason I wasn't able to find this in
setup-en.pdf.

Thanks a lot.

Use the highlight-environment or create a new startstop-environment to 
apply style and color settings to the buffer.

\definestartstop
   [BufferStyle]
   [style=smallitalic,
    color=blue]

\setupbuffer
  [before={... \startBufferStyle ...},
    after={... \stopBufferStyle  ...}]
