I want to do something with & in tables (making it an active column separator). Now I have a macro with two arguments for parameters in Context style:
\def\starttablex{\dodoubleargument\dostarttablex} \def\dostarttablex[#1][#2]{%
Now for input:�\starttable[][] & ... all is well, but for input: \starttable[]� �& ... the ampersand appears to be eaten up by the double argument expansion. starttable or starttablex
btw, messing around with & is dangerous in tex Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
