: Hi, What is the best way of typesetting a url from a variable. For example, if I have
\setvariables[test][website=http://www.xyz.com/~abc/first_index.html]
how can I print the url. I tried
\starttext \goto{\getvariable{test}{website}}[URL(\getvariable{test}{website})] \stoptext
but this does not seem to work. Any suggestions?
Aditya
Hi Aditya,
you should look into the log-file and will see it is a problem with the tilde in the url.
I know that the tilde is causing problems, but I do not know how to prevent that.
\expanded{\setvariables[test][website=http://www.xyz.com/\string~abc/first_index.html]}
\starttext \goto{\getvariable{garden}{website}}[URL(\getvariable{garden}{website})] \stoptext
\expanded{\goto{\getvariable{garden}{website}}[URL(\getvariable{garden}{website})]} -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
