Yes, * or ? should be the only thing in the action columkn. the documentation
probably needs improvement.

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?
