If this is it, it probably is. However, I need to know more than this
if I want to use it. How can the plugin react to the typeNum if it is
only defined like this? It will not know what kind of context it is run
in. That is what has always been (and remains) a mystery to me. E.g. if
I wanted a plugin to write a different kind of output on typeNum=99
that typeNum=0, how would I do this. That's the reason why I ask the
question here. I know how the TS works but how does it work in the
plugin? I just haven't been able to disentangle the whole concept at
all.

Cheers,
Christian
