> 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?

\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.
