\startfootnote\stopfootnote bug

\startfootnote\stopfootnote bug

[Alan BRASLAU]

Minimal example:

\starttext
\input tufte
\startfootnote
\input ward
\stopfootnote
\stoptext

(works OK if one replaces \startfootnote \stopfootnote with \footnote{ })

Runaway argument?
\input ward \stopfootnote \stoptext

Is this a scoop? Will we really eventually do away with \starttext \stoptext?
I can't admit the number of times where I mistakenly write \startext \stoptext
and of course generate an error!

Replace in strc-not.mkvi for the following block the named arguments with numbered arguments.


This doesn’t work

\unexpanded\def\strc_notations_start#tag#stoptag%
  {\begingroup
   \edef\currentnote{#tag}%
   \strc_constructions_initialize{#tag}%
   \strc_notes_synchronize
   \ifnotesenabled
     \strc_counters_increment_sub\currentconstructionnumber\currentconstructionlevel
   \fi
   \normalexpanded % not that efficient but also not that frequently used
     {\def\noexpand\strc_pickup_yes[##1]##2\csname\e!stop#stoptag\endcsname{\strc_notations_command_yes[##1]{##2}}%
      \def\noexpand\strc_pickup_nop     ##1\csname\e!stop#stoptag\endcsname{\strc_notations_command_nop     {##1}}}%
   \doifnextoptionalelse\strc_pickup_yes\strc_pickup_nop}

but this does

\unexpanded\def\strc_notations_start#1#2%
  {\begingroup
   \edef\currentnote{#1}%
   \strc_constructions_initialize{#1}%
   \strc_notes_synchronize
   \ifnotesenabled
     \strc_counters_increment_sub\currentconstructionnumber\currentconstructionlevel
   \fi
   \normalexpanded % not that efficient but also not that frequently used
     {\def\noexpand\strc_pickup_yes[##1]##2\csname\e!stop#2\endcsname{\strc_notations_command_yes[##1]{##2}}%
      \def\noexpand\strc_pickup_nop     ##1\csname\e!stop#2\endcsname{\strc_notations_command_nop     {##1}}}%
   \doifnextoptionalelse\strc_pickup_yes\strc_pickup_nop}
