Subject: \blank with dimen (mkiv)
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:52:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AE5A9AC.90700@gmx.net> (raw)

Hi,

donno if this is a bug or a feature. If I use \blank with a dimen 
register, I get

[..]
context/base/type-otf.tex 
(r:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv))
bodyfont        : 12pt rm is loaded
language        : language en is active
systems         : begin file test at line 4
! Missing number, treated as zero.

                                                  \fi
l.6 \blank[force,\FOO]
                     
?

Here is a minimal example:

%-----------------
\newdimen\FOO
\FOO5cm\relax

\starttext

\blank[force,\FOO]

\stoptext
%-----------------

Using \blank[force,\the\FOO] does work. No such problems in mkii.
