Re: [NTG-context] Found a weird URL that breaks things

20 Dec 2021


      Thanks Wolfgang. I had tried \# which I normally use to escape a hash but it didn't work. I was unaware of \letterhash.

Hi,
The following MWE won't compile for me:
\setupinteraction [state=start]
\starttext
Click me:
\goto{https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=22236#p22236}
[url(https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=22236#p22236)]
\stoptext
under "mtx-context     | current version: 2021.12.10 11:41"
\useURL fails as well so I assume it's in the URL parser.
The hash (#) is a special character in TeX and you have to either replace it with something safe like \letterhash or in case of \useurl you can put all settings in a asciimode block, e.g.
\startasciimode
\useurl [...]
\stopasciimode
