Hi, Pablo—I should have been clearer. The issue is the space that \in inserts before the final comma. At that’s what I get using the latest standalone beta. (Do you see it?)

Alan,

I’m not sure I get what is the issue:

    \starttext     \chapter[abc]{Chapter}

    \reference[bca]{}

    \page     \in{in reference}[abc],

    \in{in reference}[bca],

    \at{at reference, p.}[abc],

    \goto{goto reference}[abc],

    \stoptext

\in behaves as \at in terms of blank spaces in the first case.

I guess that the problem there is that there is no reference to solve in the second case.

But I may be missing your point.

Thanks, Aditya. Using \goto works better. I have been abusing \reference for some time now, mainly to mark the end of a file in order to generate page numbers: E.g., \reference[EOF]{} just before \stoptext or \stopcomponent with \at[EOF]. This has worked for getting the page range of a chapter or paper. Is there a better way to do this? Alan On Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 10:26 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

that follows.

MWE—

starttext Text\reference[abc]{}

\page Text ,

\in{Text}[abc],

\at{Text, p.}[abc],

\goto{Text}[abc], \stoptext

I am not sure if I consider this a bug. In a typical use case, \reference will have a value, e.g., \reference[abc]{whatever}. In that case, if you use \in{Text}[abc], there should be a non-breakable space between "Text" and "whatever". You appear to be abusing the reference system by giving an empty reference.

I think that usin \goto is better in this case rather than adding a check to \in for an atypical use case.
