\type{a_b} inside \bTABLE ... \eTABLE

\type{a_b} inside \bTABLE ... \eTABLE

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

there's a very comical behavior of \type{sometextfollowedby_underscore} 
inside \bTABLE and \eTABLE. For example:

\starttext
\bTABLE
     \bTR\bTD \type{a_b} \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

\type{_} or \type{_b} work OK, \type{a_b} outside the table works OK as 
well.

---

I tried to find \def\type in ConTeXt source, but I couldn't and I'm also 
not advanced enough to interpret the error message below. Any ideas?

(I would use the shorter form, \_, but the results are not quite the 
same. I solved my problem temporary by using \type{a}\type{_b} with 
quite some (unnecessary ?) "\type"-ing, but I'm still curious about the 
reason for the strange behavior.)

Thank you,
	Mojca

Thank you very much. The \definetype[regexp][option=RAW] is a very nice
and elegant solution that Hans suggested.

"type" is simply too frequent word to find any relevant matches in
search. I'm sorry. I skimmed the thread once, but at 20, 50 mails daily,
I'm not able to follow and remember everything any more (and here we go
- another 3 mails on the mailing list!!!).

Thank you,
