Dear all,

Trying to compile this MWE

\starttext
\hbox dir TRT{TRT box}
\stoptext

Fails with context LMTX command with error :

tex error       > tex error on line 3 in file c:/Users/Jo/Documents/Bible/Bibles/Olivetan/Tests/test_hbox_dir.tex: ! Missing { inserted

<to be read again>
d
<to be read again> d
 ir
<to be read again>

l.3 \hbox dir
            TRT{TRT box}

1     \starttext
2
3 >>  \hbox dir TRT{TRT box}
4
5     \stoptext
6

What’s the syntax for setting box direction now please?
Thanks

Joseph

don't use these low level commands use:

\naturalhbox{r2l box}
\reversehbox{l2r box}

and in running text \righttoleft and \lefttoright

and at the document level \setupalign[r2l]

etc .. context supports only that (in order to avoid unwanted side 
effects and interferences)
