Hi,
What is the best way of typesetting a url from a variable. For
example, if I have
\setvariables[test][website=http://www.xyz.com/~abc/first_index.html]
how can I print the url. I tried
\starttext
\goto{\getvariable{test}{website}}[URL(\getvariable{test}{website})]
\stoptext
but this does not seem to work. Any suggestions?
Aditya
Hi Aditya,

you should look into the log-file and will see it is a problem with the
tilde
in the url.

The following example works fine, tested on the garden with live ConTeXt.

\setvariables[garden][website=http://www.contextgarden.net]

\starttext
  \goto{\getvariable{garden}{website}}[URL(\getvariable{garden}{website})]
\stoptext
