That should have been:
As Hans' mentioned, use:
\startasciimode \footnote{\type{%APPDATA%\file.txt}} \stopasciimode
In a longer document setting \asciimode at the begin can be the better solution. The reason why setting \asciimode in the \footnote doesn't work is that TeX uses uses the meaning of a special character it had when it read the argument, i.e. when TeX reads the text "%APPDATA%\file.txt" the percent sign acts as begin of a comment and everything after it is ignored. As a result the asciimode command can't work because the text has already disappeared. Other characters like $ are less problematic because there are ways to change their meaning afterwards (# can be tricky) but not comments because nothing remains. \setupbuffer [before=\blank, after=\blank] \starttext Normal comment: \startbuffer % comment \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Comment in \type{asciimode} environment: \startbuffer \startasciimode % comment \stopasciimode \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Comment in the argument of a command: \startbuffer \firstofoneargument { % comment } \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Comment in the argument of a command + \type{asciimode} in the argument: \startbuffer \firstofoneargument { \startasciimode % comment \stopasciimode } \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Comment in a argument after \type{asciimode} was enabled: \startbuffer \startasciimode \firstofoneargument { % comment } \stopasciimode \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \stoptext Wolfgang
