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).

I found it also. I new that there was something like it (I had it seen
passing on the mailing list), but could not find it at first.
Do I understand correctly that '%% this is a comment' should not be in the
PDF? Because it is when I compile the document.

Yes, with \asciimode “%” is a normal character but to put comments in your document you can use “%%”.

Very nice. I now use:
\setuptyping[
blank=small,
lines=no,
margin=30pt,
]
I have a bigger margin now. The problem is that there is a lot of white
space above and under the typed text. I tried the blank and lines parameters
to get rid of it, but that does not work. How can I get rid of the unwanted
white space?

Does not work on my side. Both percentage signs and the text after it are
displayed in my document.

You need \setuptyping[margin=30pt,before=,after=].

Does this work?
\asciimode
\starttext
% this is visible %% and this is not
\stoptext
When you can read the text after “%%” you need a newer context.

I can read it, but I doubt it that I need a newer ConTeXt. I just this
morning executed:
first-setup.bat --context=current --extras=al
It can not be much newer I would think.
When compiling, the output starts with:
mtx-context | run 1: luatex
--fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/cont-en"
--lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/cont-en.lui"
--backend="pdf" "./manualInterflon"
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011080612 (rev 4277)
\write18 enabled.

^^^^^^^^^^
You use a ConTeXt from May and comments for asciimode where added in Juli.
I guess you have TeXLive 2011 installed which interferes with ConTeXt Standalone.

I thought I only installed ConTeXt Standalone. (The one from
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip.) How can I
find the problem?
I just checked with my version on Linux, there it works like it should. Now
I have to make sure it works also under Windows.

I found the problem. On Windows I installed the current version (for a
client looks like the better option), while on Linux (where I work) I always
use the latest version.

* List of special characters

I can’t find a definitive list of the special characters that I need to ‘escape’ when used in a ConTeXt document. I’m writing a short script that converts documents, and I need to catch some characters. Some of the TeX ones I tried didn’t work. Couldn’t see it in the manuals.
I’ve done the obvious ones - \%, \#, \&, \$ - but wondering about some of the others (eg ! \" # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ • º).
thanks!
