\definestartstop

\definestartstop

[Hraban]

Hello TeXperts!

I use the "verse" environment in my LaTeX document that I try to
translate to ConTeXt. The lines are separated by \\

Since I converted all \start{environment} to \startenvironment, I defined
\definestartstop[verse][???]

What command should I write into the second braces to get an indent and
to let ConTeXt accept the \\ ?
Generally: How can I use an other \startxxx ... \stopxxx in an
\definestartstop ?

How exactly should the verse look like? Maybe there is something better.

The text should be indented right and left (Indent like at the beginning
of a paragraph), that's all for now. I'd like to define it as an own
environment, for I don't know, if the editors want to get all verses changed.

The point is that I don't want to search for all \\ in verses in several
large documents. I could delete *all* \\ with sed and use \startlines,
but there are more \\, e.g. in tables that I didn't converted yet.

Eh, what do you mean: 

xxxxxx
  yyyyyy
xxxxxx
  yyyyyy

is explained in the manual (startlines...stoplines with odd even indent) 

You can assign \\ a value like in: 

\definestartstop
  [verses]
  [before=\blank\startpacked,
   after=\stoppacked\blank,
   commands={\let\\=\crlf}]

How exactly is a verse coded now?

I meant something like:

---
This is the first line of the first paragraph of a chapter. It isn't indented.
   This is normal text. The first line is indented. We will interrupt it with
a sample from a flemish folk song (you can't see the right indenting;
and it is not really necessary):

   Allen die willen naar Island gaan
   om kabeljauw te vangen
   en te vissen met verlangen.

   Naar Iseland, naar Iseland,
   naar Island toe;
   tot 33 reizen zij zijn nog niet moe.

And this is normal text again.

It doesn't work -- TeX claims some errors...

> How exactly is a verse coded now?

\startverse % was: \begin{verse}
Allen die willen naar Island gaan \\
om kabeljauw te vangen \\
en te vissen met verlangen.

Naar Iseland, naar Iseland, \\
naar Island toe; \\
tot 33 reizen zij zijn nog niet moe.
\stopverse % was: \end{verse}

(verse is a standard environment of LaTeX)

But I removed all \\ now.

\setupindenting
  [medium]

\definestartstop
  [Poetry]
  [before={\setuplines[indenting=yes]\startlines},
   after=\stoplines]

Misschien bedoel je: 

\startPoetry
welnu zei de tex-er tevree
dat valt me uiteindelijk nog mee
met wat start en wat stop en wat macro gedoe
kom ik eindelijk weer eens aan wat echt dichtwerk toe
\stopPoetry

dus.

Hallo!

Why this stuff doesn't work (and to improve it)?

\definestartstop[vycet][before=\startitemize,after=\stopitemize]

or rather

\definestartstop[vycet][before=\startitemize[n],after=\stopitemize]

Many thanks

M.K.

This doesn't work in conTeXt due to the nature of TeX *and* due to the
implementation of \stopitemize. \stopitemize is a special macro, which does
special thing.

The way to implement custom itemisation is too change the behaviour of
startitemize usding \setupitemize.

In this case the {} as taco suggested will work ok.

On my todo list is something: 

\defineitemize [instance] 
\setupitemize  [instance] [level] [vals] [vars]

(the less settings in the source, the better)

this should work

    Michal> \definestartstop[vycet][before=\startitemize[n],after=\stopitemize]

this not.

But this should also work:

\definestartstop[vycet][before={\startitemize[n]},after=\stopitemize]
