Activating urls

Activating urls

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear knights,

How do I get url hyperlinks? The following does not work, so I am missing 
something:

\starttext

{\tt \useURL
[Adobe]
[http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5091.Design_MM_Fonts.pdf][
][]
}.

\stoptext

Also, is there a manual that covers this topic?

Best
Idris

Hello Idris,

I have not tried your example, but have a look at texshow-web:

Idris,

Not exactly sure what you are after, do you want to "print" the url 
out, or make an active link that clicking on will take you to.

If you want to print the url, then

\setupcolors
	[state=start]
\setupinteraction
  	[state=start,color=blue]
%  To use a url,
\useURL
    [mypage] << the cite you will use
    [http://www.webpage.edu] << the actual web address
    [] << if you were linking to a file
    [\tex{My Web page}] << What you want the link to print in the 
document

\starttext
This is an example of link usage in \ConTeXt. If the link works, you 
should see that My Web Page is repeated here \from[mypage] and is 
highlighted in blue and that the link works. An alternative would be to 
list the link as a url as in here, \url[mypage]. However, using the url 
command gets a printing of the url, e.g,. http://www.webpage.edu.
\stoptext

Hope that helps.
Robert

You are right,

Aha, is that the right way to do it?  I actually get fully working
hyperlinks with \url (as far as I can tell), but perhaps \from is the
right macro.  Sorry about confusion,
