Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\defineblank[ab][none] \starttext \defineblank[ab][big] a \blank[ab] b \stoptext
Am I missing something or is there a reason to force the new definition (instead of the setup) of already defined blank spaces?
I mean, if this isn’t a bug, I don’t see the gain in this behavior.
?
Hans,
I don’t understand why \setupblank[ab][big] doesn’t work (with a previous \defineblank[ab]).
I mean, for most elements \setupelement is possible after \defineelement.
What is different with \setupblank?
Well, you cannot \definecolor[red][r=1] \setupcolor[red][r=.5] either. Adapting a blank this way would also be inefficient because then we need to keep carry around more state info and all these relatively basic core macro are tuned for efficiency 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
