No, i think there code is too complicated to understand without an knowledge about the syntax. The original purpose of the underscore in context was for modules to provide a namespace for macros. With the prefixes for registers there is a easy method to see whether a register is a counter, a dimension or a box (i know \c_… could also stand for a conditional and \s_… for a signal) but they are only used for internal code. All public command which can be used should remain without underscores, e.g. \doifelsenextbgroup etc. Wolfgang _______________________________________________ dev-context mailing list dev-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-context
