Is it possible to work with smileys in ConTeXt?
Instead of using something like ;-}, what looks nice, but is not the highpoint of typography, I would like to use something like \smiley, \grin, \cool, …
My suggestion would be to find a set of PNG (or other) images that you like, put them all into some subfolder and then define a list in the spirit of: \def\smiley{\externalfigure[img/smilies/smiley.png][height=\lineheight]} Of course you can also use fonts (even marvosym), but they will only show ugly black-and-white strokes which is probably not what you want. Well, you can of course colour them, but it will still be plain single-colour vector image. If you want your documents to look nice, you should fetch nice images from somewhere. (If you want auto-replacement to work, you need a few more hacks, but I would personally not like smilies to be inserted automatically.) Mojca
