[NTG-context] unwanted extra space in type definition
Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\definetype[TeXcode][option=TEX]
\def\arg#1{\TeXcode{{#1}}}
\starttext
\arg{\em\de Textsatzsystem}
\TeXcode{{\em\de Textsatzsystem}}
\stoptext
I don’t know what is wrong defined in \arg that inserts an extra space
after \em?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

You can’t do this form a definition for a verbatim command because TeX has its
own rules
for such a situation (search for a description about catcodes), when you want a
copy of
\TeXcode add
\definetype[arg][TeXcode]
to your document.
BTW: \arg is a predefined command and you should avoid to redefine it

You can see how TeX works with \tracingmacros
\definetype[TeXcode][option=TEX]
\def\arg#1{\edef\temp{#1}\TeXcode{{#1}}}
\starttext
\tracingmacros1
\arg{\em\de Textsatzsystem}
\tracingnone
\tracingmacros1
\TeXcode{{\em\de Textsatzsystem}}
\tracingnone
\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
Is there no way that I have the already predefined \arg with colored
contents (braces included)?
Even with defining another command, the problem is that left and right
aren’t covered by option=TEX.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Luigi. Sorry, but I have just downloaded and
read your message.
Well, this seems to be something beyond my understanding (this is all
Greek to me). The only conclusion I can draw is that I have to use the
second option.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
