In some cases you may not get the ligature for a good reason: \starttyping program --option=value file.ext \stoptyping It would make no sense to get an en-dash there (but I guess you don’t mean that). But all OSes provide character maps to get single characters. And also Unicodia works fine in Windows (https://mercury13.github.io/unicodia/, just in case it might suit your needs). Having a single character (emoji, dashes or whatever) is way more readable than a character combination for a ligature or a TeX command. This single-character approach also makes easier to copy and paste text to other formats. > (the question is just out of curiosity, since I plan to create a > command that adds a hairspace after or before the dash, since I don't > like it to stick to some letters like "o"). Just consider that you should add an horizontal box (or pair both space and hyphen), otherwise you may get a line break between character and hyphen (instead of the hair space): \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2st] \hsize\zeropoint this —\hairspace or so\hairspace— that this \hbox{—\hairspace}or so\hbox{\hairspace—} that \stopTEXpage \stoptext Just in case it might help, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
