Dear list,
For TeX/LaTeX users there is the neat command line tool `texdef` with
which you can show the definition of a macro. Here an example:
$ texdef -t latex section
\section:
\long macro:->\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@ }{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex
\@minus -.2ex}{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \Large \bfseries }
Is there something similar for ConTeXt? It is quite tedious to either
grep the full source or setup an extra dummy document to use \show or
\meaning.
Cheers, Henri

i must admit that i never use \show for that ... anyhow, i'll provide
context --extra=meaning --once --pattern=*paper*
context --extra=meaning --once setuplayout
context --extra=meaning --once setup_layout
in the next beta

N.B.: I already asked this long time ago but got no response.
