\FlushStep eats all spaces

\FlushStep eats all spaces

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

\FlushStep eats all kind of breakable spaces (" ", "\ " and "\space"):

\usemodule[pre-stepwise]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
\StartSteps
bla \FlushStep bla\FlushStep
\StopSteps
\page
\StartSteps
bla\ \FlushStep\ bla\FlushStep
\StopSteps
\page
\StartSteps
bla\space\FlushStep\space bla\FlushStep
\StopSteps
\page
Workaround:\blank
\StartSteps
bla\FlushStep\relax\ bla\FlushStep
\StopSteps
\stoptext

Cheers, Peter

Here is a ConTeXt version of LaTeX's \g@addto@macro macro.

\long\def\addmacro#1\to#2% better name needed
   {\begingroup
    \scratchtoks\expandafter{#2#1}%
    \xdef#2{\the\scratchtoks}%
    \endgroup}

\addmacro\relax\to\FlushStep

This seems to be just another work-around.
Wouldn't it be better, to adjust the definition of FlushStep in
s-pre-60.tex?

Like this for example:
\def\FlushStep{\iftrialtypesetting\else\StopStep\NextStep\StartStep\fi\relax}

Cheers, Peter

1. Only Hans can do this.
2. This is also what happens with my macro.
3. I think it's better to use my macro than to use manual patched
    \FlushStep in your file.

Of course, I've only thought of option 1 (hopefully Hans reads this)!
