  The \type command doesn’t support a escape function but it can be added
 an
  additional line in the code (buff-ver.miv):
 
  \def\buff_verbatim_type_normal#1%
{\buff_verbatim_initialize_type_two
 \dostarttaggedchained\t!verbatim\currenttype\??type
 \ctxcommand{typestring{
   data= \!!bs\detokenize{#1}\!!es,
   tab = \typeparameter\c!tab,
   method  = \typeparameter\c!option,
  +escape  = \!!bs\typeparameter\c!escape\!!es,
   nature  = inline,
   compact = \typeparameter\c!compact, % none | all | last (all
 needed
  in tabulate etc for manuals)
  }}%
 \dostoptagged
 \buff_verbatim_right_of_type
 \egroup}
 
  To enable the function add „escape=yes” (or your own delimiters) to
  \definetype.

 Thanks a lot, Wolfgang!

 Dear Hans,

 Can you please add the above patch, or is there a particular reason for not
 doing so?

 Kind regards,

 Christoph


Dear Hans,

Please say at least yes or no. I am not very keen on maintaining my own
version of ConTeXt so I would like to know if I can count on this feature
being added.

Thanks for your effort and kind regards,

Christoph

[NTG-context] siunitx feature in unit module

2015-02-28 Thread Andrea De Michele
Hi,

with siunitx LaTeX package its possible to obtain physics units like m/s
printed in different way changing one option:
e.g.
\si{\metre\per\second} produce ms^{-1}
\si[per-mode=symbol]{\metre\per\second} produce m/s
\si[per-mode=fraction]{\metre\per\second} produce \frac{m}{s}

have the unit module the same feature? If yes how can obtain the effect
(I didn't find nothing on the manual)?

Thank you for help

Re: [NTG-context] Incompatibility catcodes of characters in ConTeXt and PlainTeX

Hello ConTeXist.
Petr Olsak (maintainer of Czech/Slovak support for TeX) helped me with
simple typing of sign charts. He made a PlainTeX macro who is working
too in ConTeXt (see
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/230273/typing-of-math-sign-charts). 



Petr Olsak (not ConTeXt even LaTeX user) was modified PlainTeX macro to
work in ConTeXt and asked the question:
Does anybody know why ConTeXt sets catcode of  to 12? This means that
it is incompatible with plain TeX.


Which is imo no big deal.
I did not write that he would give redoing some work, after discovering 
that catcode  is different than in plainTEX.



May I therefore ask , what is the reason that has character  catcode
other than in Knuth PlainTeX?
There are catcodes of other characters incompatible?


Because the context table mechanisms don't use  (and never used it) 
so ther ei sno reason to make  special. The _ and ^ are also normal 
characters. For now we keep the $ for math (and in math mode the  ^ _ 
work as expected).


Although we're to some extend plain compatible it's not our aim, just 
like we're not amstex, latex, lamstex or anytex compatible.


Ok. Thanks for the explanation. I wrote to Peter that developer context 
to have a reason, and certainly it would from an ordinary whim not done.
Even so, I am very satisfied with the degree of compatibility. 
Practically all of my old PlainTeX macros in ConTeXt work fine.

Thanx
Jaroslav
