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})]}
