Hi Wolfgang,

However, the superscripted text is not reduced in size at all. This seems

Hi,

I found another one: the hyphen set by |-| doesn't get protruded.

[0x002D] = { 0, 0.50}, -- hyphen
}

The macro \doifnumberelse is not behaving as I would have expected
from the description in Taco Hoekwater's article "Context System
Macros: part 1: General macros".
There I read:
The next macro executesa command depending of the outcome of a test
on numerals.
