Hi to all,

I wanted to use in footer an arrow so I went with: \setupfootertexts[$\to$ help]

It raises an error. I solved with $\rightarrow$, but I was curious about this fact Why does it happen?

The \to creates interference with the keyword scanner in the footer|header text macro (because the internal macro, \convertargument, uses \to as an argument delimiter).

There is no way you could have known that.

{$\to$} may help i hav eplans to use an alternative syntax for the append macros (some day) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
