I usually use \ after abbreviations to avoid bad interword spaces. For example, Prof.\ ABC. However, when using this in footnotes, if there is a linebreak after the \, I get an error:
! Undefined control sequence.

Ok, the next is only for those who want to spend some time on the internals ... \starttext \def\TestA#1% {\writestatus{Test A}{#1}% \ctxlua{str = "#1" print(str) context(str) io.savedata("temp.tmp",str)}} \def\TestB#1% {\writestatus{Test B}{#1}% \ctxlua{str = "\detokenize{#1}" print(str) context(str) io.savedata("temp.tmp",str)}} \def\TestC#1% {\writestatus{Test C}{#1}% \edef\temp{#1}% \ctxlua{str = "\detokenize\expandafter{\temp}" print(str) context(str) io.savedata("temp.tmp",str)}% \typefile{temp.tmp}} \TestA{Test\ A} \TestB{Test\ B} \TestC{Test\ C} Test\ D \section{Test\ E} Test F\footnote{Note\ F} \stoptext I patched the helpers.title macro to deal with it but it's still something to look into as one might wonder why the newline end up there (Taco might know). (The 'context' function takes care of newlines so this is why it don't get noticed in other cases. Here a more low level sprint (<catcodeid>, str) was used.
