Hi Wolfgang, thank you very much for your code, which works very well. I still have a few doubts about one thing: is it possible that the commands you suggested to me do not work with all ConTeXt commands?
For example, if I write
\usemodule [setups]
\starttext
\showdefinition [starttyping]
\stoptext
I get in the PDF
missing: starttyping
It's correct?
The second question concerns the \definition command.
As you can see in the attached PDF, a «and 1» appears below the definition.
It's correct?
Thank you in advance
