Macro's in chapter names and \placebookmarks

Macro's in chapter names and \placebookmarks

[Berend de Boer]

If there is a macro in a chapter name, \placebookmarks gives errors. I know
what happens and almost what to do: have an [expansion=yes] somewhere, but
where?

I tried things like:

\setupmarking[bookmarks][expansion=yes]

but that didn't work.

Who knows the right trick?

BTW, I thought this worked flawlessly in the past, but I might remember that
wronly.

Groetjes,

Berend. (-:

Any macro?

In bookmarks expansion=yes can be dangerous. 

One can also say: 

\chapter{Some very long \and\ tricky \something}

\bookmark{Something tricky}

In which case the second entry is used as bookmark instead of the chapter
one.  

Can you provide me with the smallest non working sample?

Easy:

-----------------------
% interface=en output=pdftex

\setupinteraction
        [state=start]

\placebookmarks[chapter][open list]

\starttext

\chapter{Hello \ConTeXt}

\stoptext
---------------------------

The error is:

And of course I run the latest bugs.

I see. Use pdfetex and the error disappears. I'll see if I can make it pure
tex robust too. (it has to do with expansion).

I've been using pdfetex for at least a year (and maybe more), but I used
teTex 1.06 on that particular system, so maybe it's a `bug' in an older
version:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13d-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.1)

I try to upgrade (for me you don't have to make it work with tex also).

In spec-fdf, change: 

\long\def\sanitizePDFdocencoding#1\to#2%
  {\enablePDFcrlf
   \enablePDFdocencoding
   \honorunexpanded % added, 
   \edef#2{#1}}

This is probably one of the few places where expansion is taken care of
this way. 

Hans 

PS. Since this has always been so I suppose you used pdfetex until now?

This sample file run without error for me. just 
the "Hello \ConTeXt" in bookmarks appear to
" Hello C\CMRkern-.0333emo\CMRkern -.0333emn\CMRkern -.0333em\"
I think it must be PDF bookmarks can not cooper with
the TeX command since I change the \ConTeXt to ConTeXt
the bookmarks is correctly displayed.

if you say:

\abbreviation {ConTeXt} {Con\TeX t} 

you get better results. The default \ConTeXt command is defined rather low
level.
