Hi Mojca, It is more than two months old; the tetex i'm using is version 2.0.2 or somesuch. So an upgrade is definitely due. On the dvi v pdf question, I'm a bit confused, because I didn't mention my actual output format. I have actually been outputting things as dvi for reading on my computer, but printing pdfs. The same problems have been occurring in both formats, but I might be missing the point of your question here. Using \char60 and \char62 gives the same results as using the characters "<" and ">" in the text, which is are upside down question mark and explanation mark (which I can't easily type into this email to demonstrate). I will have a try at updating the fonts, and failing that, the whole tetex system. Thanks for the tip on the mirrors, and the help. -Steven ntg-context-request@ntg.nl wrote:
The angle braces I'm after are the ones that go around URLs in citations, as in

Well ... if it's more than two months old, it might already be ancient ;) Also consider updating the fonts.
Why are you using dvi instead of PDF?
I'll have a look around and see if there are particular angle braces that should be used for the above purpose (i.e. not greater-than/less-than or guillemots--they are `double', but Ithe suggestion is appreciated).
The example works OK here. Which font are you using? Most probably either the font is old/broken or the two characters are active.
What do you get if you type: foo \char60 bar\char62 foo? (You may never type like that, but just for debugging puposes.)

Btw: there are two mirrors of Pragma website (see links on wiki.contextgarden.net).

Well, if you want to say that "texexec --version" (now ctxtools --contextversion) returns something around 2002, please don't ever try to mention that on this list if you want to stay alive ;) Best download justtext.zip and linuxtex.zip from www.pragma-ade.com, extract them to some folder of your choice and execute ". setuptex" in your .bashrc. And then do "ctxtools --update" every tho weeks ;) teTeX isn't maintaind any more. Mojca

Thanks for the safety tip :)

And thanks for these two tips too. I've since sorted out the original angles problem by explicitly loading a font - which I think to do otherwise, since the default worked for the most part. Thanks for the help, -Steven
