Hello Alasdair. Try use \definetype : \definetype[rtype][color=red,style=type] \definetype[btype][color=blue,style=type] \starttext \type{%t^y_8*&} \rtype{%t^y_8*&} \btype{%t^y_8*&} \stoptext Jaroslav Hajtmar Dne 2.9.2011 6:49, Alasdair McAndrew napsal(a):
I'm writing up some computer notes for my students, and I have examples of variables and other commands which involve characters like % and underscore. These are typeset with
\type{%t^y_8*&}
for example. What I would like to do is to color these as well. However
\color[blue]{\type{%t^y_8*&}}
doesn't seem to work; nor does
{\blue \type{%t^y_8*&}}
So - how do I obtain colored text within \type?
Thanks, Alasdair
