While writing the documentation about using ConTeXt I need some 'special' characters. A few I have found, for example \%, \backslash, \texttilde, \percent. But until now I did not find how to represent [ and ]. How would I use those characters in my document?

Also: is there somewhere a 'complete' list? I found several, but they where all for LaTeX and are not completely the same. For example LaTeX uses \textbackslash which does not work in ConTeXt which uses \backslash.

I could not find it at first (there are so many things), but one solution I found:
    \startasciimode

    %\backslash setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]

    \stopasciimode

And while searching a little further I also found:

    \type{    %\setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]}

This has the added benefit that it displays somewhat better because of the increased indentation (for which I misuse spaces).
