How to put buttons side by side in interactive menu?

How to put buttons side by side in interactive menu?

[Verhaag, G.C.H.M.]

Hi,

I use the well known feature:

   \startinteractionmenu[right]
     \but [content] contents \\
     \but [sample] sample \\
     \but [PreviousJump] back \\
     \but [CloseDocument] exit \\
     \vfill
\stopinteractionmenu

to put a menu on the right of the screen of an interactive document.

Now I want to use two buttons side by side something like:

     \but [left] left \but [right] \\

but this doesn't seem to work. I get an !Emergency stop.

Anybody any idea how to put the buttons side by side?

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

P.S.
I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.16 11:00 MKIV

I don’t think this is possible because “\but” reads everything till “\\”
and therefore you can’t put two buttons on one line.
