once finished i can generate a version cross linked to the result (had such
one before). Actually, since i always use the
\startbuffer
example code
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer
\getbuffer
construct, most of the code you see in there is shown as is and typeset.
So, there is not so much more to gain. A good example of context coding is
the pdftex manual source code (on the site).
Also, there *are* examples of coding styles: see s-*.tex (and x-*.tex for
angle bracket lovers)
