Subject: problem embedding TABLE macros within wrapper macros "to reduce repetitive complexity")
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2020 17:50:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9CED6A26-735B-4122-A3E9-34F67589B3D1@lps.umd.edu> (raw)

I have a number of slides using \...framedtext blocks to break the slides into panes within a TABLE environment (TMI: not in MWE; merely my justification for writing the wrapper macros). When the TABLE macros are invoked explicitly it all works fine and produces a suitable single-cell table with "quux blech baz bar foo" framed; when embedded in macros (whether defined by \def, \unexpanded\def, \define) then it fails with the error "The file ended when scanning an argument. => fatal error: return code: 256. A previous question on the topic seemed to indicate that TABLE was suitable, so I figure that something subtle is wrong as I've invoked the embedded TABLE macros. Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
---K
MWE: this code fails if the \...PaneSlide block is uncommented, succeeds if commented out.
\define\startPaneSlide{\bTABLE}
\define\startPaneRow{bTR\bTD}
\define\stopPaneRow{\eTD\eTR}
\define\stopPaneSlide{\eTABLE}
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD
quux blech baz bar foo
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\startPaneSlide
\startPaneRow
foo bar baz blech quux
\stopPaneRow
\stopPaneSlide
\stoptext
