Hi all,
I thought that \startbuffer and stopbuffer would cause grouping within the
buffer. e.g.
\startbuffer[mybuffer]
\switchtobodyfont[small]
a bunch of text
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\section{First}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\section{Second}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\section{Third}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\section{Fourth}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\stoptext
Compiling the above example results in a fontsiye decreasing step by step.
I am using: ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.10 fmt: 2003.1.18 int: english mes:
english
How should I reverse to the originally setup fontsize:
\setupbodyfont[ss,12pt]
\starttext
\section{One}
text
text
\section{Two}
\switchtobodyfont[small]
much more text with need to typset in [small]
\switchtobodyfont[normal] <------ This does not result in what I need..
\section{Four}
text
text
Thanks for hints! Willi

Insert grouping by yourself:
\startbuffer[mybuffer]
\start\switchtobodyfont[small]
a bunch of text
\stop
\stopbuffer

or better:
\start ..... \par \stop
in order to get proper baselines, or
\definebuffer[small]
\setupbuffer[small][before=\start\small,after=\stop]
\startsmall
....
\stopsmall
\getsmall
or so

Hi,
Some time ago I encountered the same problem (ConTeXt ver: 2002.12.20
fmt: 2003.1.21 int: english mes: english) and since I didn't know
whether this was a bug or some built in feature, I solved it by saying
\startbuffer[mybuffer]
\switchtobodyfont[small]
This is the content of mybuffer supposed to be in smaller type\dots
\setupbodyfont[ss,12pt]
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\section{First}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\section{Second}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\section{Third}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\section{Fourth}
\getbuffer[mybuffer]
\stoptext
I must admit that this is not a solution but a turn around!
Best regards: OK

that is what I've thought, too.
You can of course say
\setupbuffer[before=\bgroup,after=\egroup]
to make them grouping.

wrong thought, that way we could do much less with them, for instance no
style stuff, and far less use in my manuals where i use them all over the
place -)

hm, better create a buffer instance then since i'm not sure what happens if
*all* buffers get grouped.
or use {\getbuffer}
