Subject: Re: Using TABLE in a definition etc.

Dear Knights,
Solved (I think):
================
\def\Glyphbox#1#2#3{%
\setupframed[frame=off,align=middle,offfset=none]
\framed{\cbox{
\bTABLE[align=middle]
\bTR \bTD \csname gulistan#1\endcsname \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD #3 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
}}
}
================
Silly me forgot the #1#2#3... and remembered csname; this is probably my
first time ever using it in a macro... We'll see if further issues arise...
Best wishes
Idris
