Is it not « \\ » that should give a line break? Indeed this gives a line break: \starttext Someone\footnote{Prof.\\ ABC} \stoptext However, you are right to observe that Someone\footnote{Prof.\ ABC} results in an error with the latest beta, while Someone\footnote{Prof.\ ABC} does not (and of course there is no line break neither, the « .\ » gives only a normal space after the dot). Best regards: OK

\starttext Someone\footnote{Prof.\ ABC} \stoptext

What's going on here?

Hi,

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.

1 >> \starttext 2 Someone\footnote{Prof.\ 3 ABC} 4 \stoptext 5

l.1 Prof.\

ABC

interesting ... it only surfaces now because notes have been redone, but \section{Prof.\ ABC} has the same issue (something in the tex-lua-tex cycle) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
