I had a problem that kept me busy for a few hours. A \page command had no effect, the text just continued in the pdf.

The culprid turned out to be a hex 0x0C, a formfeed character. Once I removed them all was good. It got introduced by extracting the text from a PDF.

I realize my files should be "clean" of control characters and ConTexT should (maybe) not be stripping those characters. Then again, they serve no purpose in the document. So...

My question: Isn't some more resilience sensible so commands don't break? Or error messages?

cheers and thanks for any thoughts.
Martin

For the record:

ConTeXt ver: 2019.01.28 16:58 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.2.4 int: english/english



I'm not sure if the FF makes it through the mail. A hex editor will/would show it in front of the \page (sheer coincidence)
