Hi,
Why does \immediate\pdfliteral code end up as typeset text?
\pdfcompresslevel0
\starttext
\immediate\pdfliteral{\letterpercent [start]}
\pdfliteral{\letterpercent (start)}
test
\pdfliteral{\letterpercent (stop)}
\immediate\pdfliteral{\letterpercent [stop]}
\stoptext
if this is intended behaviour, it should be documented as such and
'frozen'. Also, the fact that a \pdfliteral ends up on a new line in the
output should become a frozen (intended) and documented feature (unless we
introduce \pdfcomment). [in pdf everything between % and endofline is
comment!]
Also, technically one may put text before the %PDF, but afaik we don't have
a way of doing that
