It's WAD (Working As Desgined). I.e., it's a feature. The manual clearly states that an expression is "initiated by one of the commands \numexpr, \dimexpr, \glueexpr, or \muexpr and optionally terminated by one \relax (that will be absorbed by the scanning mechanism)". () are only used to limit *sub*expression. Observe that this is congruent with the TeX way of scanning for assignments. So always put a \relax after an expression :) > (those expr are behaving a bit strange anyway) What other problems are you having? Keep in mind the limited precision TeX works with. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
