\setbuffer ... \endbuffer
Summary
The environment \setbuffer ... \endbuffer is used for filling a buffer.
Settings
Description
This command is very much like \startbuffer except it takes a less careful (more low-level) approach to collecting the content. It does not pay attention to the \setupbuffer[strip=yes] setting; multiple spaces are always collapsed into a single space. Because of this, it is practically useless when \typebuffer will be used.
But if the buffer content is fairly well-behaved, must only be typeset, and speed is of the essence, then this is a useful alternative to \startbuffer.
Examples
Example 1
\setupbuffer[strip=yes] \setbuffer[mybuf] Some buffered text extra line \endbuffer Setbuffer: \getbuffer[mybuf] \typebuffer[mybuf] \startbuffer[mybuf] Some buffered text extra line \stopbuffer Startbuffer: \getbuffer[mybuf] \typebuffer[mybuf]
