escaping % in urls

escaping % in urls

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

I have the following sample:

\define[1]\url{\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]}
\starttext
\url{http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?lema=puntos\%20suspensivos}
\stoptext

in which I try to escape %, but using the above approach I also get the
\ printed.

Which is the proper way to do it? (Not replacing %20 with a blank space.)

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

I use \asciimode which leaves only 3 special characters \ { }, and the
rest (including # and %) can be used normally. But then, your \define
should be before \asciimode or moved to environment file. %% can be used
as comment char.

Thanks for your reply, Kahled.

Typing \asciimode after \starttext does the job.

Thank again,

This works (I don't know, if proper way or not...):

\startasciimode
\url{http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?lema=puntos%20suspensivos}
\stopasciimode

or

\url{http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?lema=puntos\letterpercent20suspensivos}
