[NTG-context] Strange bug with \ in footnotes
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
\ctxcommand ...\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1}
\handlenoteitself ...text \strc_notes_inject_text

\195notation:note ...rentnote \currentnotenumber
\fi \fi \endgroup \fi
\fi ...
\strc_notations_command_nop ...handler \endcsname
\strc_constructions_finali...
l.3 ABC}
Minimal example (There should be a linebreak after \)
\starttext
Someone\footnote{Prof.\
ABC}
\stoptext
What's going on here?

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

The “\ ” command gives a control space which is necessary when you use
\nonfrenchspacing
(which is normally set with \setuplanguage[…][spacing=broad]). What \\ produce
depends
on the environment and can be a line break, a space or something different.

interesting ... it only surfaces now because notes have been redone, but
\section{Prof.\

has the same issue (something in the tex-lua-tex cycle)

I patched the helpers.title macro to deal with it but it's still
something to look into as one might wonder why the newline end up there
(Taco might know).
(The 'context' function takes care of newlines so this is why it don't
get noticed in other cases. Here a more low level sprint (catcodeid,
str) was used.
