I have a feeling that if * or ? is used in the action column then it
should be the only thing. However the documentation is not clear on this
and it might be otherwise.
I think that for the first of the context rules you gave it would need
to be specified as:
context `[]%englishLetter @56
The third column is specifying what to replace the content of the
brackets with, so moving the %englishLetter outside those brackets means
it does not need specifying in the third column. If the second column
has no brackets then I think it is assumed the brackets surround the
whole of the second column.
Similar can be done for the other context rule you gave:
context _!$l[]%englishLetter @56
Does this work for you?

I must be missing something regarding my understanding of the context opcode.
My goal is to prefix the first English letter of a sequence with dots 56. To
that end, I've written:
class englishLetter ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
context `[%englishLetter] @56*
context _!$l[%englishLetter] @56*
What happens is that the dots 56 is generated but that the letter itself is
missing. What's the right way to have the original text copied from the test to
the action?
