weird spacing after command type

weird spacing after command type

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \define[1]\slide{\startmakeup[standard]#1\stopmakeup}

    \definetype[texcode][style=\ttd, option=TEX]

    \starttext
    \slide{\texcode{\ifodd\pageno impar\else par\fi}}

    \startmakeup[standard]
        \texcode{\ifodd\pageno impar\else par\fi}
    \stopmakeup
    \stoptext

I wonder why \slide introduces a space after each command.

Am I missing something or have I hit a bug?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

This is normal behaviour for TeX which inserts a spaces after control 
sequences when it tokenizes the input.

\starttext
\detokenize{\ifx\a\b\else\fi}
\stoptext


The best thing you can do is to avoid verbatim code in arguments of 
other commands (section headers are one case where you can’t avoid this) 
and your normal use of the makeup-environment shows how you can avoid 
the unwanted output.


Another way to avoid the space is to create commands which don’t take 
argument which works only when you have a environment which isn’t 
delimited (i.e. the environment grabs everything from the start-command 
to the stop-command).

\define\slide{\groupedcommand{\startmakeup[standard]}{\stopmakeup}}
