For now:
=====================
\def\startchapter[#1]#2%
{\getparameters[Chapter][#1]\chapter{#2}}
\def\stopchapter{}
\def\startsection[#1]#2%
{\getparameters[Section][#1]\section{#2}}
\def\stopsection{}
\def\startsubsection[#1]#2%
{\getparameters[Subsection][#1]\subsection{#2}}
\def\stopsubsection{}
\def\startfootnote[#1]#2%
{\getparameters[Footnote][#1]\footnote\bgroup#2}
\def\stopfootnote{\egroup{}}
=====================
All based on a note from Taco; I don't really know how it works...
The footnote one needs a % at the end of the preceding line, don't know
how to gobble it:
text.%
\startfootnote[]
note.
\stopfootnote{}
text
Further: I now use fake start-stops in my environments/preambles. In
conjunction with an editor that can handle TeX-syntax folding, they area
really good organizing tools. So I have a file startstops.tex with totally
naive things like
=======================
\let\startENV=\relax \let\stopENV=\relax
\let\startLET=\relax \let\stopLET=\relax
\let\startFONTS=\relax \let\stopFONTS=\relax
\let\startLISTS=\relax \let\stopLISTS=\relax
\let\startPAPER=\relax \let\stopPAPER=\relax
\let\startTITLE=\relax \let\stopTITLE=\relax
\let\startLAYOUT=\relax \let\stopLAYOUT=\relax
\let\startBIBLIO=\relax \let\stopBIBLIO=\relax
\let\startALIASES=\relax \let\stopALIASES=\relax
\let\startSTRUCTURE=\relax \let\stopSTRUCTURE=\relax
\let\startSTARTSTOPS=\relax \let\stopSTARTSTOPS=\relax
\let\startDESCRIPTIONS=\relax \let\stopDESCRIPTIONS=\relax
\let\startINTERACTIONS=\relax \let\stopINTERACTIONS=\relax
=======================
Syntax-folding makes things soooo much easier and efficient.
