\starttext

[ ] @ _ ^ % normal characters

\startlines
\textbackslash\ or \letterbackslash
\textbraceleft\ or \letterleftbrace\ or \{
\textbraceright\ or \letterrightbrace\ or \}
\percent\ or \letterpercent\ or \%
\textdollar\ or \letterdollar\ or \$
\letterampersand\ or \&
\letterhash\ or \#
\stoplines

\asciimode
% $ # & %% this is a comment

\stoptext

I found it also. I new that there was so= mething 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 c= omment' should not be in the PDF? Because it is when I compile the docu= ment.
