Re: [NTG-context] Spurious space in \definestartstop

Might I add that the use of a command containing spaces in its name is spurious. Try: \definestartstop[spuriusspacea] \startspuriusspacea ... \stopspuriuspsacea, and then come up with a better name! Alan On Tue, 30 Jan 2018 21:24:41 +0100 Wolfgang Schuster wrote: >
