That does not work for me, Wolfgang. With or without the \start-/stoptext (which is redundant in my own document I assume).

\placetable{Test} {\bTABLE \bTR \bTD[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] tst \eTD \bTD \starttext \type{Hello %s --test world --test %s} \stoptext \eTD \eTR \eTABLE}

Error: Runaway argument? \starttext \type {Hello \eTR \bTR \bTD [background=color,backgroundco\ETC. ! File ended while scanning use of \tabl_ntb_td_nop. On 20-05-13 15:04, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hello,

What is the most straightforward way to print a percent symbol inside the argument to \type{} (or, if necessary, more generally: monospace type)

Is this easy enough for you?

\starttext \type{%} \stoptext

I'd say the most straightforward way is using \asciimode: \starttext \startlines \mono{foo \% bar} \mono{foo \letterpercent\ bar} \asciimode \mono{foo % bar} \stoplines \stoptext Marco PS: Please don't hijack threads. Start a new thread for each new issue.

I have used a new subject line. If you see any problem that makes

Changing the subject line is not enough. If you are reading another email sent to the list, and you press "reply" or something similar, the email you send will contain instructions to link it to the earlier email, and many mailers will display them as one thread (see attached image that shows how it is displayed in my mailer). I suspect that's what you've done here. Technically, the problem is that your email's headers contain a field "References", which they shouldn't; but from a usage point of view the easiest is to simply start a new thread by using the "compose" feature of your mailer, or equivalent. As I see that you're using Thunderbird, I'm surprised that it doesn't display the emails in one thread, by the way. Arthur
