[NTG-pdftex] bug or intended behaviour

[Hans Hagen]

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


Hans
