escaping from \starttyping...\stoptyping

escaping from \starttyping...\stoptyping

[Marko Schuetz]

I want to use ConTeXt macros from within typing, like

\define[1]\mysquare{#1$^2$}

\starttyping
this is verbatim text /mysquare{j}
\stoptyping

it works with macros that do not take arguments, but with arguments
the open curly brace seems to be considered for the macro name and an
undefined ... error is produced. 

A related problem is that I cannot have e.g. a comma after a macro
name because then also the name is not recognized.

Help will be appreciated! :-)

I admit that it looks ugly but look at this:

\startRAW
\def\mathematics#1%         %%\ N  usage: \type {\mathematics{x^2}}
   {\ifmmode#1\else$#1$\fi}  %%\ N  becomes: \mathematics{X^2}
\stopRAW

the %%\ serves as an escape and N is the escape-to-tex handler

[see verb-ini.tex/core-ver.tex for more details]

[some day i will reimplement the pretty printing handler since it is (low 
level) a bit too fuzzy]

??? 

I don't understand. Wherever I put \startRAW ... \stopRAW I get an
undefined control sequence error for \startRAW. I tried
\startTEX/\stopTEX, but the %%\ does not seem to escape...

I had a look in there, but did not understand what was going on.

what happens after:

\installprettytype [RAW] [RAW]
