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 www.smith.com.

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. Which font are you using? Most probably either the font is old/broken or the two characters are active. What do you get if you type: foo \char60 bar\char62 foo? (You may never type like that, but just for debugging puposes.)

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 www.smith.com.
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

Hi,
this depends -- different fonts contain different kinds of 'angle

depending on their purpose. Do you want them for (french style)
quotations, or for typesetting math?
The following is a set of examples -- they might look very different
with other fonts.

(\langle and \rangle is math mode only I believe)
\setuplanguage [en] [rightquote=\rightguillemot,leftquote=

\leftsubguillemot bar\rightsubguillemot{}
foo $\langle \text{bar}\rangle$ foo.
