Projects and URLs

Projects and URLs

[Axel Kielhorn]

Hello!

Where is the best way to define URLs in a project?

I currently define them when I need them, but wouldn’t it be better to keep them in a project file and have only one location to edit when they change?

Greetings Axel

When you use \useurl in combination with \url or \from you can define 
them in a environment file. To make themeasier to handle you can use a 
separate environment file only for the urls.


\setupinteraction[state=start]

\useurl [garden] [https://wiki.contextgarden.net/] [ConTeXt garden]

\starttext

\url [garden]

\from[garden]

\stoptext


You can also avoid this two step method when you use the \goto command 
with the url keyword in the second argument.


\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\goto{\hyphenatedurl{https://wiki.contextgarden.net/}}[url(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/)]

\goto{ConTeXt garden}[url(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/)]

\stoptext

Is there a way to loop over all defined urls to generate a link list (like a bibliography)?

You can use the bibliography subsystem to create a database of urls.
Look at "other uses" in the bibliography manual.

It that’s what you need, then \useURL is the way to go.

For me, writing two commands to use an URL only once is mostly too much.
