Hello list, I've got a lot of newbie questions. I'm writing a technical document with context for the first time to try it. I come from a TeX/LaTeX world.
-> How to print a tilda? I'm trying to write an URL with a tilda in it with the font \tt. \widetilda, \tilda do not output any character. Even \~{} do not print anything. And it does not seem to appear somewhere in the wiki or in the "special characters" section of the "ConTeXt an excursion" excellent document.
Which encoding are you using? Try \texttilde
I'm using utf-8 encoding. \texttilde works great, thanks :) It outputs a tilda that is a bit high but i don't know if a lower one exists. Thanks a lot!
-> How could I do french guillemets (<< and >>)? Is it possible?
Which inputregime are you using? With \enableregime[utf], you can input them directly, or try \leftguillemot and \rightguillemot (yes, the names are moronic, but that's Adobe's fault)
I'm using \enableregime[utf]. I should find the french guillemets :) But \leftguillemot and \rightguillemot are working fine. Thanks a lot for all answers :) -AJ
