Re: [NTG-context] xtables regression with LMTX 2022-12-21

22 Dec 2022

      ...
With the latest (2022-12-21) LMTX I see a regression in xtables. The 
following code:
\starttext
    \startxtable
       \startxrow
         \startxcell
               This is a line of text.
         \stopxcell
         \startxcell
               \contextversion
         \stopxcell
       \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext
produces this with 2022-12-09:
and this with 2022-12-21:
The problem appears to be LMTX-specific. (I did not save 2022-12-15 for 
testing, but did not see the problem with that version.)

thanks for noticing, i uploaded a new lmtx

as a reward i'll reveal a new mechanism:

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\definetextdisplay[steppedbystep][before={\blank[halfline]}]

\starttext \showmakeup[line]
   \dostepwiserecurse{10}{25}{1}{
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\par
       \starttextdisplay
         \externalfigure[dummydummy][height=#1mm,text=no]%
       \stoptextdisplay
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\par
       \starttextdisplay[before=\blank,after=\blank] % factor=.5
         \externalfigure[dummydummy][height=#1mm,text=no]%
       \stoptextdisplay
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\par
       \startsteppedbystep
         \externalfigure[dummydummy][height=#1mm,text=no]%
       \stopsteppedbystep
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\par
       \page
   }
\stoptext

this uses a new boxtype, compare

\ruledvbox{test\par test}

\ruledvtop{test\par test}

\ruleddbox{test\par test}

and guess what happens. Still in exploration mode.
