Is there a list of special characters anywhere (eg \percent, \upperleftsingle6quote, etc) ? I'm trying to insert a "|", at the moment, but I can't find a list...

I don't know if there is a list out there somewhere by a user, but there is no 'official' one that I know of. Sounds like you are looking for \textbar (found by grepping for \definecharacter in the ConTeXt sources).

Thanks Taco - textbar is indeed the one. I'll do some more searching and find the rest. But a list sounds like a nice thing to have...

I'm really struggling to get this working... I've got some keywords which i want to mark in the text with a special style: -- \starttext \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos,9pt] \setupcolors[state=start] \define[1]\Keyword{% {\startcolor[darkgreen]\bf{#1}\stopcolor}} \chapter{Introduction} \Keyword{if} blah blah blah blah blah \Keyword{for} blah blah blah -- This works great. But then I've got the following keywords: # ! | \ @ ^ + - * / % Of these, i can get half of them to work: -- \Keyword{\#} \Keyword{\percent} \Keyword{\&} \Keyword{\backslash} \Keyword{\@} \Keyword{/} -- but i can't get any of the the remaining ones ( ! | ^ + - * ) to. Any suggestions would be very welcome! I was then going to go on to add an indexing command: \define[1]\Keyword{% {\startcolor[darkgreen]\bf{#1}\stopcolor} \index{#1}} but this wasn't working either... Help!

Just copied from Aditya's code :)

\letterhash, \# \letterexclamationmark \letterbar \letterbackslash \letterat \letterhat \letterslash \letterpercent, \% \letterless \lettermore \letterampersand, \& \letteropenbrace, \{ \letterclosebrace, \}

Thanks - they all work great! A worthy addition to the manual...?! :-)

I've just discovered the command \showcharacters. It's not in the manuals, but useful for showing some of the characters available.
