\asciimode and \type{%%}

\asciimode and \type{%%}

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

when asciimode is enabled the \type command ignores double comment symbols.

\starttext

\quotation{\type{%}}

\quotation{\type{%%}}

\asciimode

\quotation{\type{%}}

\quotation{\type{%%}}

\stoptext

It's actually a feature: in ascimode double % is the comment and content 
is preprocessed. originally asciimode was just for math and we still 
wanted a way to have comments.

But ... we can have

\unexpanded\def\literalmode{\setcatcodetable\txtcatcodes}

and then:

\starttext

\quotation{\type{%}}

\quotation{\type{%%}}

\literalmode

\quotation{\type{%}}

\quotation{\type{%%}}

test 10% test

\stoptext

I'll add that command, assuming that someone will document it somewhere.

I can't remember the details when the command was added (I know there 
was \nonknuthmode) but in this example it works in a unexpected way (the 
% are removed but the following text is kept).

There is no need for \asciimode in my document but I use it sometimes 
when I have symbols I don't want to replace.

Not really needed in this case but I'm going to document it.

It's a side effect of buffers: each \type ends up in a buffer and that 
actually is a file on its own.

I already bet on that -)

The command is only in buffer-ver.mkiv but not buff-ver.mkxl.
