Technically, an environment means that variables are stacked in a syntactically local group, as in \begingroup … \endgroup. The syntax in the example file is «foo· … ·» or «foo· … ·foo», so one does not have to write the ‘start' and ‘stop’ all the time, and does not have to write the name of the environment again at the end. > In this case context has the \define<something> commands as for example > http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definetyping I think this corresponds (in pseudocode) to my \new{Environment}{typing}% {}{<before code>}% {<after code>}{} In LaTeX, if I remember correctly, it would expand to \begingroup<before code> … <after code>\endgroup. I added so one can have \new{Environment}{typing}% {<before code>}{<begin code>}% {<end code>}{<after code>} expanding to <before code>\begingroup<begin code> … <end code>\endgroup<after code> So one has more control over designing the environment. One can then also define a new environment \new{Environment}{typingmore}% {<code>}{<code>«typing·<args>}% {·typing»<code>}{<code>} I think, to make specializations. > Context has also > http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startenvironment > but I suppose it's not what you mean. It looks like just adding a series of command names, rather than a stacked environment, or a namespace (module). If one wants to avoid name clashes, one can have names like in directory names, living without any local group. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
