Description

With \typebuffer[mybuffer] you get the verbatim content of buffer mybuffer, which was previously defined with \startbuffer.

To typeset the contents of the buffer, use \getbuffer.

Example

\starttext

\startbuffer[mybuffer]
This is a text, which is stored in the buffer with name \quotation{mybuffer}.
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer[mybuffer]

\stoptext

produces

You can show only a part of a source:

\startbuffer[BB]
\setupsomething[]
\starttext
% begin
Do something interesting.
%end
\stoptext
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer[BB][option=tex,range={begin,end}]
