Subject: Strange bug with \ in footnotes
Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2012 14:59:24 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.02.1208041456480.20380@ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva> (raw)

Hi,

I usually use \ after abbreviations to avoid bad interword spaces. For 
example, Prof.\ ABC. However, when using this in footnotes, if there is a 
linebreak after the \, I get an error:

! Undefined control sequence.

1 >>  \starttext
2     Someone\footnote{Prof.\
3     ABC}
4     \stoptext
5

l.1 Prof.\

           ABC
\ctxcommand ...\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1}

\handlenoteitself ...text \strc_notes_inject_text
                                                  \endstrut 
\strc_constructi...
\handlenoteinsert ... {\handlenoteitself {#1}{#2}}
                                                  \egroup \the 
\everyafterno...
\195>notation:note ...rentnote \currentnotenumber
                                                  \fi \fi \endgroup \fi 
\fi ...
\strc_notations_command_nop ...handler \endcsname

\strc_constructions_finali...
l.3 ABC}

Minimal example (There should be a linebreak after \)

\starttext
Someone\footnote{Prof.\
ABC}
\stoptext

What's going on here?

Aditya
