suggestion on [option=TEX]

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Hans,

I have the following sample:

\setuptyping[option=TEX]
\starttext
\starttyping
\input zapf % knuth
\stoptyping
\stoptext

The percent character is in bold font and gray color, but the rest of
the commented text isn’t.

My suggestion would be to apply the same color and font of the percent
character to the rest of the comment. So it is easier to see that the
text is a comment. And I think coloring the whole commented text (not
only the percent character) is the normal practice in all text editors
(if comments are colored at all).

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

After reading the document, I think it could be achieved with:

\definefontfamily[mainface][mono][DejaVu Sans Mono]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\defineprocessor[myescape][style=bold,color=gray, left=\%]
\setuptyping[TEX][escape=myescape->{\%}]
\starttext
\startTEX
This is a c%omment.

% And this is another one.

\command
  [with colored]
  {brackets}
\stopTEX
\stoptext

But this doesn’t work. I must be missing something obvious.

What am I doing wrong here?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

You have to add a comma after \letterpercent. You should also be careful with
the text in the comments because commands are expanded, e.g. take a look
at the \TeX in the comment.

\setupbodyfont[dejavu]

\defineprocessor[myescape][style=\ttbf,color=gray,left={\letterpercent}]

\setuptyping[TEX][escape=myescape->{\letterpercent,}]

\starttext
\startTEX
This is \TeX\ code % and this is a \TeX\ comment.
\stopTEX
\stoptext

Sorry for not having replied before and many thanks for your help, Wolfgang.

The code works as you told me. I really appreciate your help.

I have a further question about the option=TEX to color code. This was
my original issue, but I haven’t expressed myself clearly. The question
is directed primarily to Hans.

With option=TEX, comment seems to be the only element that isn’t colored
and formatted as a whole. Other elements are formatted as a whole and
the format even extends in multiple lines.

My question here isn’t technical (unless the described behavior is a
bug). The issue is on visual coherence. At least for newbies, it would
be better to differentiate visually between regular text and commented text.

Is there any reason not to format whole comments option=TEX? (Sorry, but
I don’t understand why this is different.)

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
