Hello,
this is my first post to this mailing list. I have played a little bit
with latex and context before, and now I am trying context for real.
To get a feel for it, I am setting up a letter style for my self, and
some problems are showing up now.
So here it goes ...
What I want to accomplish:
The user writes the address, and he should not have to use \crlf or have
to use several distinct commands.
Why does the following not work?
\defineblock[Address]
\setupblock[Address][
before=\starttyping,
after=\stoptyping
]
\starttext
\beginAddress
Peter Pan
Somewhere over the Rainbow
Neverland
\endAddress
\useblocks[Address]
Some more text.
\stoptext
Kind regards,
Ingo

you pick the two more complex mechanisms .. the ones that intercept the
input stream
\setupblock[Address][
before=\startlines\tt,
after=\stoplines,
]
will work ok for most text cases

And if you really need a typing environment, you can use buffers:
\startbuffer[address]
#whatver&
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[address]
or
\typebuffer[address]

Thank you for your answers,
in my case, start-/stoplines is actually much better.
Kind regards,
Ingo
