Such syntactic sugar makes sweeter reading of the text, and makes
clearer what is being done when nesting the macro.
for such Named environments there are probably other alternatives
(depending on what you need it for), like blocks
also, user dat picks up its content (they're buffers) so that would also
mean more nested buffers .. it's meant as a simple mechanism

And this means that when you run 'context' in shell (terminal) the
context from TeX Live will be used. Note the above 'export' commands.
The first prepend the path to ConTeXt Standalone binaries, the next on
prepends TeX Live binaries, so TeX Live binaries will be used if you run
'context' in terminal/shell.

I can generated environment commands but I haven’t done this at the

argument because this allows me to check if the used instance exists.

Yes, the environment is meant for short blocks of text (e.g. a
blockquote) where you have to set different texts (e.g. the name of a
author) for each use of the environment.
I thought about adding a switch to change between buffer mode and normal
start/stop commands which work like the startstop environment but it
wasn’t worth the effort.

Perhaps adding a `command=yes` key, which can be set to `no` by default.

[NTG-context] protrusion with opening exclamation and question marks
Hi Hans,
I have the following sample:
\definefontfeature[default][default]
[protrusion=quality]
\setupxtable[frame=off, option=stretch]
\startbuffer[standard]
¿Cómo?
¡No!
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[right]
\hfill¿Cómo?
\hfill¡No!
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=2em]
\startembeddedxtable[framecolor=red, align=hanging,
foregroundstyle={\ss\bfd}, offset=overlay]
\startxrow
\startxcell[leftframe=on] \getbuffer[standard]\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow[toffset=2em]
\startxcell[rightframe=on] \getbuffer[right]\stopxcell
\startxcell[rightframe=on, align=nothanging]
\getbuffer[right]\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopembeddedxtable
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
It shows that question and exclamation marks are sligtly protruded.
Well, in Spanish (and Galician in some ortographies) there are opening
exclamation and quotation marks.
I think it would make sense to have the same protrusion values for
opening quotation and exclamation marks as for the closing ones.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] about character expansion
Dear list, I would like to introduce character expansion to novice users. I know that ConTeXt adds values automatically. But I’m interested in showing extremely stretched and shrinked characters, as an example of character expansion done wrong. Sorry for not providing a minimal example, but I don’t have any idea about how to achieve that. Does anyone know how to do it? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Doing: \xmlremovesetup{SETUP}
does not seems to have an effect.
Is it possible to deactivate a xml setup and reinstate at at a later
point in time?
normally one uses modes for that (inside the setup)
ir you can decide for explicit filtering (\xmlfilter)

you need to patch font-imp-quality.lua:
vectors['punctuation'] = {
[0x003F] = { 0,0.20 }, -- ?
[0x00BF] = { 0.20, 0}, -- ¿
[0x0021] = { 0,0.20 }, -- !
[0x00A1] = { 0.20, 0, }, -- ¡
