font switches, tables, and grouping
Dear consortium, font switches do not obey grouping when \start-stoptable is invoked: =============================== Some text \start\it \starttable[|l|l|] \NC 2001 \NC Fall \NC\SR \stoptable \stop Some text =============================== The second `Some text' comes out italicized. What is happening here and how do I fix it? Also, how do I control the blank space between \stoptable and the beginning of the next par?

This works fine here using ConTeXt ver: 2006.10.02 09:56 MK II fmt: 2006.10.2 \start .. \stop are defined as \let\simplestart\bgroup \let\simplestop \egroup So the only way \it will move across the \stop is if \stoptable is missing a \egroup. But then tex should complain about missing end group, something like (\end occurred inside a group at level 1) ### simple group (level 1) entered at line 4 ({) ### bottom level Does your log file say this?

Yes, and I think I found the culprit: ==================================== \setuptables[split=yes] \starttext Some text \start\it \starttable[|l|l|] \NC 2001 \NC Fall \NC\SR \stoptable \stop Some text \stoptext ==================================== If you comment out \setuptables[split=yes] it works fine. So there is/was (ConTeXt ver: 2006.08.16) most likely a bug in the splitting mechanism. I'll try the latest beta later and report back.

With the latest beta this works now. Thanks! Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
