TABLE moves to the right with new ConTeXt

TABLE moves to the right with new ConTeXt

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

with the latest ConTeXt, it seems, that space around \bTR, \eTR, before
\bTD and after \eTD matters. Such space seems to move the whole TABLE to
the right:

\def\XXX#1{\bTR\bTD#1\eTD\eTR}
\starttext
\centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{2}{\XXX{bla}}\eTABLE}
\centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{2}{\XXX{bla}
}\eTABLE}
\centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{20}{\XXX{bla} % Why does this space matter here?
}\eTABLE}
\stoptext

Is this behaviour normal and wanted?

Cheers, Peter


P.S.: What about http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector/ ?

Right, there was no problem with latest stable version from august.

I can't find the problematic code in the source, but workarround for
you, that works.

\def\XXX#1{\bTR\bTD#1\eTD\eTR\ignorespaces} works as expected.

context bugs and feature requests

Hi Peter,

Sorry, a bit of a delayed reply on this one. Michael Guravage was
switching providers a while back, so he asked us whether or not to
keep the collector running.

After quite a bit of deliberation, we advised him not to. There are
two main reasons behind that advice: One: Hans and I hardly have time
to keep track of the collector ourselves and it was not very good at
warning us automatically. Two: It made much sense to keep the bugs
as close to the tests as possible, so the contexttest project at
https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contexttest/ is actually a better
place for tracking info.

At that point in time, I should have

   1. warned the contexttest people
   2. turned on the tracking facilities for contexttest
   3. copied what was worth saving from the collector
   4. updated the wiki page
   5. announced the change to the list

Unfortunately, I forgot to do any of those things. :-/

I just took care of items 2. and 4. while typing this in, 1. and 5. are
implied in this mail message, but 3. is unfortunately beyond saving.

Best,
Taco

Hello Taco,

I'll look into my proxy-cache and copy the open issues.

Cheers, Peter
