Subject: the closing bracket (structuring syntax)
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2006 21:46:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D277C0E6-989A-4170-B2DD-B83A2A0BD4CF@st.estfiles.de> (raw)

Hi,

in XML and alike there is a concept of dedicated start/stop in  
formatting:

<begin heading> ... <end heading >
<begin footnote> ... <end footnote >
<begin italic> ... <end italic>

But in ConTeXt/TeX we have always the same closing syntax "}". That  
makes reading the code not easier.

Is there a workaround to define the closing more precisely (like the  
examples above),
so that finding a "}" in a ConTeXt source lets me distinguish what  
it's about?

But in such a way that the file still can be processed as a regular  
ConTeXt file?

Steffen
