Hello, a question - I'm just curious:
What is advantage (or maybe intension) of using buffers over \def?
Compare:
----
\def\BufA{This is buffer A.}
\startbuffer[BufB]
This is buffer B.
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\BufA
\getbuffer[BufB]
\ifx\BufC\undefined No buffer C.\else\BufC\fi
\stoptext
----
Both ways give the required effect.
Moreover, when using \def, I can also test its existence (maybe it's also
possible with buffers, but I don't know how).
Best regards,
Lukas
