* hyperlinks with special characters @ 2014-08-29 17:48 Prashanth N Rao 2014-08-29 19:52 ` Hans Hagen 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Prashanth N Rao @ 2014-08-29 17:48 UTC (permalink / raw) To: mailing list for ConTeXt users [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1460 bytes --] I have already asked this question on Stackexchange. It appears that no one who has seen the question knows an answer. I figure I'll ask here too, just to cover all bases. I need to link to some online resources in my PDF file. Based on the official documentation, I have written: > \useURL[dbdk] [http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Dark_Knight_(film)] [] [it's link to DBPedia] > > Lorem ipsum \goto{the LinkedMDB.org entry on The Dark Knight}[url(http://data.linkedmdb.org/page/film/6224)], and \from[dbdk] dolor sit amet. Note my code for the link to DBpedia: I had to write it in this convoluted way, instead of using my preferred \goto, because the link has the special characters, `(` and `)`. These characters interfered with `url()`. I can't use HTML's URL encoding scheme because the `%`s interfere with TeX. Is there another escape code format in ConTeXt for use within `\goto{...}[url(...)]`? Using the suggestion by @phg, I tried the following: > \startasciimode > Lorem ipsum \goto{the LinkedMDB.org entry on The Dark Knight}[url(http://data.linkedmdb.org/page/film/6224)], and \goto{it's link to DBPedia}[url(http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Dark_Knight_%28film%29)] dolor sit amet. > \stopasciimode I still had to use escape codes, `%28` and `%29`, to keep it from interfering with url(). It turns out that DBpedia does not like these codes, and requires the actual characters. Is there another way I put them in `\goto{...}[url(...)]`? Thanks!

Hm, I can support properly nested () and {} but how about not balanced ... one way out is to support "" and '' special(operation) special(operation(whatever)) special(operation{argument,argument{whatever}}) special(operation{argument{whatever}}) special("operation(") special("operation(whatever") special(operation{"argument,argument{whatever"}) special(operation{"argument{whatever"}) I'll add that but it needs testing because the ref parser is already somewhat complex. > Using the suggestion by @phg, I tried the following: > >> \startasciimode >> Lorem ipsum \goto{the LinkedMDB.org entry on The Dark Knight}[url(http://data.linkedmdb.org/page/film/6224)], and \goto{it's link to DBPedia}[url(http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Dark_Knight_%28film%29)] dolor sit amet. >> \stopasciimode > I still had to use escape codes, `%28` and `%29`, to keep it from interfering with url().

If I understood your examples correctly, i.e. these are the strings one would write within url(), this is how they could do it: special\(operation\) special\(operation\(whatever\)\) special\(operation{argument,argument{whatever}}\) special\(operation{argument{whatever}}\) special\(operation\(\) special\(operation\(whatever\) special\(operation{argument,argument{whatever}\) special\(operation{"argument{whatever"}\) And if they ever need a literal \ in their URL, they would have to write \\ In my examples above, I have escaped only ( and ) because they interefere with url(). If the any other character interferes with your code, they could escape it as I have shown. > > Using the suggestion by @phg, I tried the following: > > > >> \startasciimode > >> Lorem ipsum \goto{the LinkedMDB.org entry on The Dark Knight}[url(http://data.linkedmdb.org/page/film/6224)], and \goto{it's link to DBPedia}[url(http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Dark_Knight_%28film%29)] dolor sit amet. > >> \stopasciimode > > I still had to use escape codes, `%28` and `%29`, to keep it from interfering with url().
