Dear devs,
The two macros \lastxpos and \lastypos should behave like registers, because that is what they are in LuaTeX. The following MWE fails with
! You can't use `the character 0' after \the
\starttext \the\lastxpos \the\lastypos \stoptext
A simple fix would be to wrap the macro in \numexpr like in the attached patch.
hm, i was actually about to drop them completely ... anyway, i have no problem with the fix but then it also need to be \unexpanded (i'm reshuffling some code so probably no beta for a few days)
Dropping \pdflastxpos and \pdflastypos would break TikZ, so it would be good if at least the \lastxpos and \lastypos primitives would be accessible.
ok, but i assume that there is no need for the \pdf* ones (because i decided to drop all those specific \pdf* aliases in the next beta ... they were never meant to be persistent part of mkiv) ... i grepped tikz and could not find usage of \pdf... apart from the official luatex ones (actually, tikz is the only package i know that we need to keep an eye on wrt downward compatibility; context modules use different interfaces) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
