While writing the documentation about using ConTeXt I need some 'special' characters. A few I have found, for example \%, \backslash, \texttilde, \percent. But until now I did not find how to represent [ and ]. How would I use those characters in my document?
Also: is there somewhere a 'complete' list? I found several, but they where all for LaTeX and are not completely the same. For example LaTeX uses \textbackslash which does not work in ConTeXt which uses \backslash.
\starttext
[ ] @ _ ^ % normal characters
\startlines \textbackslash\ or \letterbackslash \textbraceleft\ or \letterleftbrace\ or \{ \textbraceright\ or \letterrightbrace\ or \} \percent\ or \letterpercent\ or \% \textdollar\ or \letterdollar\ or \$ \letterampersand\ or \& \letterhash\ or \# \stoplines
\asciimode % $ # & %% this is a comment
\stoptext
I found it also. I new that there was something like it (I had it seen passing on the mailing list), but could not find it at first. Do I understand correctly that '%% this is a comment' should not be in the PDF? Because it is when I compile the document.
