D’oh. I looked in the source and missed this but I wonder if this had been always the case because the manuals {and the wiki) mention only \color[name]{...}.
all commands that use \groupedcommand have that property
But used \color always \groupedcommand or was this added later and the original definition was what is mentioned in the manual (\color[]{})?
it's a very old command so it might not have used groupedcommand in the past also, at the time of manual writing no groupedcommand like things were there anyway but .. there's another reason ... \color{...} does not grab an argument but does some aftergroup trickery so it might not work in all cases also in mkii we inject literals and we could end up with dangling revert color cases being nodes that could interfere somehow mkiv is more robust ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
