Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour. I want to fill a TABLE
row with "[<number>]", but the leading left bracket causes some problems
here. I tried the syntax 'print(string.format("[%d]",10)' in pure lua
and the result is as desired.
%% --------------
\starttext
\startluacode
context.bTABLE{}
context.bTR()
for i = 1,8 do
context.bTH() context(string.format("[%d]",i)) context.eTH()
end
context.eTR()
context.eTABLE()
\stopluacode
\stoptext
%% --------------
gives

and empty TABLE cells. Any help welcome.

The \bTH command has a optional argument and when you print [<number>]
context take this as argument for \bTH. There are different ways to fix this,
one is to pass a empty argument to \bTH, e.g. "context.bTH{}" or you add \relax
after the command, e.g. "context.bTH() context.relax()".
BTW: You don’t need string.format because “context("[%d]",i)" is valid input.
Wolfgang
