Description

Changes options for displaying verbatim text. When called with a single argument, this command changes the options for all typing environments: \starttyping, \startTEX etc. as well as \typefile.

With the optional argument, it affects only specific typing environment (as created with \definetyping).

\setuptyping can be used multiple times to change options, and options will stay in effect until the end of file.

Examples

Example 1

\setuptyping
   [before={\startframedtext[width=\textwidth,
                             background=color,
                             backgroundcolor=lightgray]},
    after={\stopframedtext}]

\starttyping
This is a \test{}
    and everything
  is printed just as I write it
\stoptyping

\startTEX
This is a \test{}
\stopTEX
