Re: [NTG-context] table: code doesn't work any more with recent beta

I'd seen a similar problem but didn't manage to catch it before it slithered away. But I'm pretty sure it used to work (perhaps with an August 06 release). Starting from your example, the following was the smallest file I could find showing the same problem (using the latest beta): \def\room{\starttable[|r|l|]} \starttext \room \NC a \NC b \NC\MR \stoptable \stoptext I think it's related to the argument processing in \starttable because this works: \def\room{\starttable} \starttext \room[|r|l|] \NC a \NC b \NC\MR \stoptable \stoptext -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
