Hi Peter,

> \setuptyping[option=TEX]

This is what I am using now, but this changes the global settings and requires
resetting them afterwards. Not so pretty. I was hoping for a better method to
achieve this, but I'm starting to doubt there is one currently.

I've been trying to give \typebuffer a second argument with options or a
typing style, but I haven't been so succesful so far...


However, from looking at the definition of \dotypebuffer makes me wonder a bit
if my understanding of TeX macros is faulty, or the code is weird:

\def\dotypebuffer[#1][#2]%
  {\iffirstargument
     \dobuffer{17}{#1}\dotypefilebuffer
   \else
     \dobuffer{17}{#2}\dotypefilebuffer
   \fi}

What I see here is the there is an argument "17" passed, which is not used by
\dobuffer at all. Also, why is this "17" ? Secondly, there is a use of #2 in
this definition, but only when there is no first argument (and thus, no second
argument either). Is this a leftover that could be replaced with {}, or am I
missing something?

Gr.

Matthijs
