Hi to all,
I wanted to use in footer an arrow so I went with:
\setupfootertexts[$\to$ help]
It raises an error.
I solved with $\rightarrow$, but I was curious about this fact
Why does it happen?
many thanls

The \to creates interference with the keyword scanner in
the footer|header text macro (because the internal macro,
\convertargument, uses \to as an argument delimiter).
There is no way you could have known that.
Best, Taco
