tex.toks & cld -- something weird

tex.toks & cld -- something weird

[Philipp Gesang]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1114 bytes --]

Hi all,

while playing with the new extended cld stuff I encountered
this:

----8<-----------------------------------------------------------

context.starttext()

context("\\toks0 = {Something}")

context("\\the\\toks0") -- works
--context(tex.toks[0]) -- fails

print("·································································")
print(tex.toks[0])  -- ‘The key mentioned above can't be used in a’
print("·································································")

context.stoptext()

----8<-----------------------------------------------------------

After setting ‘\toks0’ it cannot be accessed through ‘tex.toks’.
Now, what’s so peculiar about this is that ‘tex.toks[0]’ carries
a string from -- ‘thrd-tab.tex’‽

Any explanation? Did I miss something important? Thanks for any
help,

Philipp

^^ gets printed to tex's input buffer so nothing set yet

  > context("\\the\\toks0") -- works
> --context(tex.toks[0]) -- fails

^^ at this point toks[0] has no value yet
