\typebuffer and tabs / specify code type

\typebuffer and tabs / specify code type

[Eckhart Guthöhrlein]

Hi all,

I'm using \typebuffer to typeset some metapost code. How can I tell it
to either ignore tabs or treat them like 1,2,3,... spaces, instead of
printing ^^I?
Another question: There has been a thread on telling \typebuffer what
type of code on this list some time ago, without a final solution. Is
there a switch to use metapost or whatever appropriate highlighting?

Greetings,
Eckhart

\setuptyping[tab=on] % or off

\setuptyping[file][option=TEX]

and alike

That does not work here. Example file:

\starttext
	\startbuffer[ex]
		draw unitsquare scaled 1cm;
	\stopbuffer
%	\setuptype[tab=on]
%	\setuptype[tab=off]
%	\setuptyping[tab=on]
	\setuptyping[tab=off]
	\typebuffer[ex]
\stoptext

None of the \setuptyp* has any effect, I alwas get ^^I^^I for the two
tabs. I'm using

 TeXExec 5.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004
ConTeXt  ver: 2004.10.28  fmt: 2004.11.3  int: english  mes: english

\setuptyping[option=MP] works fine.

I have furthermore observed that typing of files via \typefile as well
as \starttyping..\stoptyping are affected, opposed to \typebuffer.
\typefile and the typing environment do never print ^^I for a tab, but
either a space or several spaces, depending on the tab=on/off option.
This behavior is what I would like to have for \typebuffer, too. How to
do it?
