Subject: \type macro weird?
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 22:05:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6FA803DB-1B15-468E-989B-CFB524833D1D@uva.nl> (raw)

This works fine:
\starttext Here a type macro <\type{\abc}> \stoptext

This also:
\starttext \placetable{table \type{abc} title}{abc} \stoptext

This too:
\starttext \placetable{table \type{\blank} title}{abc} \stoptext

But this gives an error (mind the \ before abc). 
\starttext \placetable{table \type{\abc} title}{abc} \stoptext

Do I misinterprete something here? 
I just wanted to typeset "\abc" in the type-font. 
Why is the very first \abc treated as text to typeset but requires the placetable argument that it is an existing macro?
Or isn't this the intended behaviour?
