type problems

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I have always problems with verbatim text. Sometimes I found a 
solution, sometimes a workaround. Are there solutions to

- print text with a verbatim '%' sign
- print text with a verbatim '{' 

why is in the following example '#' --> '##'?
why is there a newline between 'bla' and 'blub'?

\starttext
%\type{%}
%\type{{}
\retype{#}
\startlines
\retype{bla}blub
\stoplines
\stoptext

Thank you

Wolfgang

\starttext
\mono{\%}\mono{\letterpercent}
\mono{\{}\mono{\letterleftbrace} % \mono{\{} works only with MkIV
\mono{\#}\mono{\letterhash}
\startlines
\mono{bla}blub
\stoplines
\stoptext

Has to do with the way how \retype works, a solution for the # problem
was posted not so long ago on comp.text.tex (or on a tex mailing list).

no, \mono is just \tt but you can write it as {\mono text} or  
\mono{text}

'|' has a special meaning i context, you can write here \type{Dies| 
Das} or \mono{Dies\letterbar Das}

Hallo Wolfgang,

it is amazing to see, that you are always able to draw a new white 
rabbit out of your context-hat!
is \mono the youngest incarnation of \type, \retype ...?

What about \mono{Dies|Das}?

Is'nt it frustrating?
