Hi everyone, In the following example: \define[1]\com{com\ #1} \starttext \com{1} $\com{1}$ \stoptext the second call to \com (the one in math mode) seems to stop the compilation of the file. Is it a bug? It wasn't happening before. I'm using the latest minimals. Best regards, Morgan

Definitely a bug: the trace shows a recursive definition. \ is defined in terms of itself. Looking at core-spa.tex I cannot understand why this is happening. This is the output of \loggingall \com #1->com\ #1 #1<-1 {the letter c} {the letter o} {the letter m} \ ->\mathortext \normalspaceprimitive {\dontleavehmode \space } \mathortext ->\ifmmode \expandafter \firstoftwoarguments \else \expandafter \se condoftwoarguments \fi {\ifmmode: (level 1) entered on line 6} {true} {\expandafter} {\else: \ifmmode (level 1) entered on line 6} {\fi: \ifmmode (level 1) entered on line 6} \firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1 #1<-\normalspaceprimitive #2<-\dontleavehmode \space \normalspaceprimitive ->\ \ ->\mathortext \normalspaceprimitive {\dontleavehmode \space } Aditya

hm, i'll look into it; i changed some things in the process of writing the mkiv mathml(3) interpreter. \ is a primitive in tex but with some properties that may not always be optimal ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for this fast correction, Hans. By the way, I have a small question about updating the minimals tree: which command must be used preferably? * ctxtools --contextupdate or * first-setup.sh another time as suggested on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals Many thanks, Morgan

Ah, interesting. I did not know that \^^M was a macro. On hindsight, it makes sense. Aditya
