Dear ConTeXt folks,


looking into typesetting URLs I find typesetting URLs quite cumbersome.

Maybe I have not used that feature that often so I am not seeing the
advantage to first define a URL somewhere and give it a name

        \useURL[aurl]       [http://xkcd.com/149/] [] [I prefer hot
        dogs.]

and then later use it.

        \url[aurl]

The proposed macros(?) in the section »Tipps and Tricks« [2]

        \def\href#1#2{\useURL[#2][{#2}][][{#1}]\goto{\url[#2]}[url(#1)]}
        \def\ahref#1{\color[linkcolor]{\ttx \href{#1}{<#1>}}}
        \def\fullahref#1{\color[linkcolor]{\ttx \href{#1}{http://#1}}}
        \def\mailto#1{\useURL[#1][mailto:#1][][#1]\from[{#1}]}
        \def\MailTo#1#2{\useURL[#1][mailto:#1][][#2]\from[{#1}]}

seem quite useful. Could they be added to the ConTeXt core(?)?


Thanks,

Paul
