spacing problem with mvs sybols

Hi!

I'm using muse for writing some astrological notes while studying and
noticed there is problem with spacing after using symbols from 'mvs'.

Here is the test file:

\usesymbols[mvs]
\setupsymbolset [astronomic]
\setupsymbolset [zodiac]

\starttext

This is Mesha \symbol[Aries] and this \symbol[Cancer] is Kataka. 
Let's see \symbol[Sun] too.

\stoptext


Am I doing something wrong here?

I tried with both mkii and mkiv, but the result is the same.

Sincerely,
Gour

\symbol[] gobbles following spaces, because it also has a second
argument for the symbol set. Use one of these to stop it from
doing so:

   {\symbol[Sun]}
   \symbol{sun}
   \symbol[zodiac][Sun]

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Taco,

That was quick answer. Thanks a lot.

The 2nd one looks optimal when symbol set is globally invoked.

It looks like wiki need some update...

It *is* optional, that is it. Optionality implies space-eating.

Best wishes,
Taco

OK. Thanks. In the muse (emacs publishing) now I can write <aries> and it
expands as \symbol{Aries} in 'published' ConTeXt  document, so I can
configure tag-mechanism to do \symbol[zodiac][Aries] as well.

Otherwise, it would be much more convenient to just type 2nd option - in
lyx/latex one just types \Aries.

Sincerely,
Gour
