[NTG-context] variable edef with localhsize calculation
Dear All, I try to save \localhsize in a variable (with \edef), but whenever the enclosure changes, my variable changes too. \starttext \edef\myVar{\dimexpr (\localhsize-15pt)\relax} localhsize: \the\dimexpr\localhsize\relax \\ myVar: \the\dimexpr\myVar\relax \\ \setupnarrower[middle=50mm] \startnarrower localhsize: \the\dimexpr\localhsize\relax \\ myVar: \the\dimexpr\myVar\relax \\ \stopnarrower \stoptext I would expect that myVar has the same value inside the narrower as outside, because I used \edef and not \def. Is there another variable I can use, or does someone knows a solution for this specific problem? Thanks, Julian btw. everything works as expected, if I do not use \localhsize. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
