In some of the sample texts that come with Context (Zapf etc.) the double bar is used to indicate a hyphen, perhaps an unbreakable hyphen. In pdftex it translated to an em? dash instead.

Is this combination documented somewhere? ||

The default is supposed to be an en-dash, but this can be changed. See section 7.8 "Composed words" in "ConTeXt the Manual".

I always use explicit hyphen like this: Don't second|-|guess me. -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/
