Re: [NTG-context] parsing issue with \math{} inside natural table

Hi, I ran into a case where a natural table has an issue when it

example which triggers the problem:
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTABLEbody
\bTR
\bTD[alignmentcharacter={.},aligncharacter=yes]{\le 4.0\math{-}}\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
\stoptext
However, if I replace \math{-} with $-$, the file works. Am I correct
that $-$ and \math{-} should be interchangeable?
side effect of alignmentcharacter that triggers expansion of cell
content, so just use $ here

Re: [NTG-context] parsing issue with \math{} inside natural table
Thanks for the reply. I'm actually generating TeX from an application
that interprets $ in it's own code and occasionally this causes me
trouble in passing the $ through to TeX to use in math mode (I think
they have a bug and am hoping I can get that fixed). So I tend to use
\math{} to avoid complications with escaping $, but was stuck in this
case because I couldn't use $ or \math{}.
Anyway, I just now solved my problem in the other application and am
able pass through $ appropriately so it's no longer an issue for me.
Thanks,
Brian

With expansion problems, sometimes using \noexpand\math{...} works.
