[NTG-context] issue with typing in footnotes

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample (which was on the way of showing another issue):

  \starttext
  a
  \starttyping
  b
  \stoptyping
  c
  \startfootnote
  a
  \starttyping
  b
  \stoptyping
  c
  \stopfootnote
  \stoptext

Current latest (from 2024.03.11 09:34) breaks compilation with both LMTX
and LuaTeX.

As far as I know, this sample should be compiled without any issue.

Could you be so kind to confirm the issue or explain me what am I missing?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

The footnote environment is just a fancy way for a command with a 
argument and buffers don't like being part of arguments.

You can put the code in buffer outside of the footnote and type the 
content of the buffer in the footnote.

%%%% begin example
\starttext

\def\startfoo#1\stopfoo{#1}

% \startfoo
% xxx
% \starttyping
% yyy
% \stoptyping
% zzz
% \stopfoo

\startbuffer
yyy
\stopbuffer

\startfoo
xxx
\typebuffer
zzz
\stopfoo

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

Everything is clear to me now.

Many thanks for your help,
