Actually, since i always use the \startbuffer example code \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer construct, most of the code you see in there is shown as is and typeset. So, there is not so much more to gain. A good example of context coding is the pdftex manual source code (on the site). Also, there *are* examples of coding styles: see s-*.tex (and x-*.tex for angle bracket lovers) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
