Great! You've solved my issue! Thank you very much! I'm just wondering why sometime the code without the "\relax" command works. The scanner is a program, it should process the input file always in the same way, so what I have experienced sounds strange to me.
Can be that the explanation? If \footerdate is starting with m (i.e. March 2025) the scanner reads the M as an input for \hskip0.2em (the "minus" is looking for), if \footerdate is starting with a different letter (i.e. J of June) the scanner is not confused and the process goes to the end. Have I got the point? Thanks Have a nice weekend Best regards Roberto ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
