\typesetbuffer

Summary

The command \typesetbuffer typesets a buffer verbatim

Settings

\typesetbuffer[...][...=...,...]
[...]	* buffer
...=...,...	inherits from \setupexternalfigure

Description

With \typesetbuffer[mybuffer], ConTeXt typesets the buffer mybuffer (previously defined by command \startbuffer) as an independent file and it includes it in the document as an external image.

To get back the verbatim content of the buffer use the command \typebuffer.

When you invoke \typesetbuffer on a buffer already typeset, the buffer won’t be typeset again, but the requested page(s) will be included in the document as external figures.

Examples

Example 1

\startTEXpage

     \startbuffer [sample]
         \starttext
             \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] one   \stopTEXpage
             \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] two   \stopTEXpage
             \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] three \stopTEXpage
         \stoptext
     \stopbuffer

     one: \typesetbuffer[sample][frame=on,page=1]

     two: \externalfigure[\lasttypesetbuffer][frame=on,page=2]

    three: \typesetbuffer[*][frame=on,page=3]

\stopTEXpage
