Typesetting url's in ConTeXt?

Typesetting url's in ConTeXt?

[Alasdair McAndrew]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 597 bytes --]

There's a wiki page all about typesetting url's, but I can't seem to get
them to work.  All I want to do is to display a url in a typewriter font,
for document printing - I don't need a live link. What I want is for the
output to be similar to that provided by LaTeX's url package, so that, for
example: \url{https://This_is_a_url.html} would be appropriately typeset,
including all such ascii characters as underscores.

What's the canonical way to do this?

Thanks,
Alasdair

\hyphenatedurl{....}

Try this:

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\goto{\hyphenatedurl{http://domain.tdl:6666/id=15&ln=test\letterpercent 20_test\#2}}[url(http://domain.tdl:6666/id=15&ln=test\%20_test\#2)]

\stoptext


IIRC there has been a discussion about the percent (%) in url, so maybe
this workaround isn't needed anymore. Anyway, this is what I usually use.
