Interesting. Just a couple of points. Do not use the prefix m- for 
your modules. m- is reserved for modules in the core distribution. You 
can use t- (third party) if you want to distribute your module, or p- 
(personal) if you do not want to distribute your module.

Looking at the code, I do not think that you need \def\NL{NL}. Also 
\NL is an internal command used in tables.

Finally, in the definition of \stopNLE, you can replace
\input \NLfile.out with \typefile{\NLfile.out} in which case you will 
not need to escape all the special characters. ConTeXt will do it for 
you.

Your manual looks good, and easy to read. I think I will give newlisp 
a try to try to understand what is the whole fuss about lisp anyway :)

Thanks - you can tell I took your advice to look at m-r.tex a bit too  
far! ;-)

OK. In fact I originally had two commands - one for verbatim-text,  
the other for generating material to be included in 'ordinary  
paragraphs'.

I originally had the code examples output using the vim-module. It  
worked great! But I just couldn't find a colour scheme that made the  
code more readable - most of the things I tried just made it look  
garish and less readable. Perhaps coloured syntax listings are too  
personal a thing... (And yes, it did slow down the process a tiny  
bit :-))

 Your manual looks good, and easy to read. I think I will give newlisp
 a try to try to understand what is the whole fuss about lisp anyway :)

Have fun!

thanks again to you and everybody who helped...

[NTG-context] Newbie questions: integrating ruby/perl scripts into a document; changing line spacing for typed text only

2007-02-15 Thread Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 
Hello,

I want to ask a few questions that I cannot resolve by myself so far.

1) How can I integrate ruby/perl scripts into a .tex document? (I want to 
create a CD cataloguing tool and gonna use script for reading CD file list). 

2) How to change line spacing for typed text only? (I use medium space for the 
whole document but want minimal spacing inside \starttyping)? 

With beat regards,
Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
