grouped commands in MkIV

grouped commands in MkIV

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 568 bytes --]

Dear syndicate,

=============
\def\TR{\groupedcommand \it}
% \def\TR{\groupedcommand \it\/}
\def\Test{{\TR Test}}
\starttext
\Test
\stoptext
=============

produces the attached strange result: The first letter gets put at the end.

Also, is italic correction no longer supported in mkiv? \/ produces an  
undefined control sequence. Is there another way now?

Best wishes
Idris

I can’t reproduce it, \/ works for me with the last beta but a while ago Hans posted a document about a new implementation in MkIV.

Ok, updating to the latest beta seems to solve both issues, so I guess the  
reimplementation is done :-)

THANKS!!!

BTW Wolfgang (or Hans or ... ): Since you're the internals expert, what do  
you know about

\emphasiscorrection

as in the def to \em. I played around with using that instead of \/ but  
not sure what the difference between the two is.

Best wishes
Idris

it a command that tries to be clever but you can read/try

http://www.pragma-ade.com/preliminaries/hybrid-italics.pdf

in which case no \/ etc is needed
