Thanks Otared! Works like a charm!

Out of curiosity, could you explain the mechanics behind this? I know 
it is a commonly used trick in TeX macro definitions, but I don’t know 
how it changes TeX’s understanding of the tokes it parses.


When you create a new commands like this

\def\mycommand[#1]{...}

the brackets are delimiters for the argument of the command, i.e. when 
TeX sees
\mycommand it looks for [ and grabs everything intill ] as as argument. 
When you
out now a space (or start a new line) after ] in your definition of the 
command, e.g.


\def\mycommand[#1] {...}

TeX looks now for “] ” (right bracket followed by a space) as delimiter for
the argument of your command.

Thanks Otared! Works like a charm!

Out of curiosity, could you explain the mechanics behind this? I know it is
a commonly used trick in TeX macro definitions, but I don’t know how it
changes TeX’s understanding of the tokes it parses.

Cheers,

Hi Tim,

Welcome back to ConTeXt!
When one defines a command, in particular when using the brackets […], it is 
wise to put a percent sign at the end of the line if one changes the line on 
which the macro is defined.
In your case, saying

\definemacro\see[#1:#2]%
{\dosee{#1}{#2}}

suppresses the problem you are reporting (at least here on my machine running 
MacOS 10.13.3 and the latest beta as yours).

Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] Unexpected emergency stop

2018-02-09 Thread Tim Steenvoorden

Dear all,

After some time I’m back to ConTeXt and I dug up some old macros. I used to
define a \see macro to automatically insert labels like “chapter”, "figure"
etc. in front of a reference based on the structure of the label. Below
you'll find its definition.

It worked in MKIV about two years ago, nevertheless, now ConTeXt hangs when
placing punctuation after the command. I.e. TeX hangs with an emergency
stop (“*" on the terminal) after all files have been processed (after
cont-yes.mkiv is closed).

What am I doing wrong that such a thing happens?

I’m on macOS 10.13.3 with minimals beta 2018.02.09 00:04.

Cheers,
Tim
