I've since sorted out the original angles problem by explicitly loading a font - which I think to do otherwise, since the default worked for the most part.

Re: [NTG-context] Angle braces?
Hi Mojca, It is more than two months old; the tetex i'm using is version 2.0.2 or somesuch. So an upgrade is definitely due. On the dvi v pdf question, I'm a bit confused, because I didn't mention my actual output format. I have actually been outputting things as dvi for reading on my computer, but printing pdfs. The same problems have been occurring in both formats, but I might be missing the point of your question here. Using \char60 and \char62 gives the same results as using the characters "<" and ">" in the text, which is are upside down question mark and explanation mark (which I can't easily type into this email to demonstrate). I will have a try at updating the fonts, and failing that, the whole tetex system. Thanks for the tip on the mirrors, and the help. -Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>The angle braces I'm after are the ones that go around URLs in >>citations, as in >> >>[12] Smith, `Article on Things', available at . >> >>It's been suggested to me elsewhere that I upgrade my ConTeXt version, >>so hopefully that will help. > > > Well ... if it's more than two months old, it might already be ancient ;) > Also consider updating the fonts. > > Why are you using dvi instead of PDF? > > >>I'll have a look around and see if there >>are particular angle braces that should be used for the above purpose >>(i.e. not greater-than/less-than or guillemots--they are `double', but >>Ithe suggestion is appreciated). > > > The example works OK here.

Re: [NTG-context] Angle braces?
Hi Matthias, thanks for your reply.
The angle braces I'm after are the ones that go around URLs in
citations, as in
[12] Smith, `Article on Things', available at .
It's been suggested to me elsewhere that I upgrade my ConTeXt version,
so hopefully that will help. I'll have a look around and see if there
are particular angle braces that should be used for the above purpose
(i.e. not greater-than/less-than or guillemots--they are `double', but
Ithe suggestion is appreciated).
Thanks,
Steven

[NTG-context] Angle braces?
Hi, Annoyingly simple question -- apologies -- but I'm having no luck from the web. The ConTeXt wiki isn't turning up anything, and the pragma site seems to be broken, so I can't access the ConTeXt manual. So: What are the commands in ConTeXt to get angled braces, i.e. `<' and '>'? I've got is \langle and \rangle respectively, but these aren't resulting in output -- the dvi has nothing where they should be - "foo bar foo" instead of "foo foo". Using the braces themselves, eg \starttext foo foo \stoptext gives me upside-down exclamation and question marks, for left and right braces respectively. Thanks for any help. -Steven ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
