That’s not possible because the content is stored only in memory and is therefore only available after you put the environment in your document. What you can do is to set the content of the environment at the begin of the document and refer to it at a later position like you can do with buffers. \usemodule[annotation] \defineannotation[test][method=buffer,text=Test] \starttest[one] \input knuth \stoptest \starttest[two] \input ward \stoptest \starttext \gettest[two][title=Ward] \gettest[one][title=Knuth] \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
