Thanks very much - that works perfectly. I didn't know about \definetype.
Thanks again,
Alasdair

Hello Alasdair.
Try use \definetype :
\definetype[rtype][color=red,**style=type] \definetype[btype][color=blue,**style=type]
\starttext
\type{%t^y_8*&}
\rtype{%t^y_8*&}
\btype{%t^y_8*&}
\stoptext

I'm writing up some computer notes for my students, and I have examples of variables and other commands which involve characters like % and underscore. These are typeset with
\type{%t^y_8*&}
for example. What I would like to do is to color these as well. However
\color[blue]{\type{%t^y_8*&}}
doesn't seem to work; nor does
{\blue \type{%t^y_8*&}}
So - how do I obtain colored text within \type?
Thanks, Alasdair
