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

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

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.

ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.15 int: english/english
               ^^^^^^^^^^

You use a ConTeXt from May and comments for asciimode where added in Juli.

I overlooked the first date. :-{


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.
