\stopasciimode
And while searching a little further I also found:
\type{%\setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]}
This has the added benefit that it displays somewhat better because of the
increased indentation (for which I misuse spaces).

Re: [NTG-context] List of special characters?
I'm really struggling to get this working... I've got some keywords
which i want to mark in the text with a special style:
--
\starttext
\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos,9pt]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\define[1]\Keyword{%
{\startcolor[darkgreen]\bf{#1}\stopcolor}}
\chapter{Introduction}
\Keyword{if}
blah blah blah blah blah
\Keyword{for}
blah blah blah
--
This works great. But then I've got the following keywords:
# ! | \ @ ^ + - * / %
Of these, i can get half of them to work:
--
\Keyword{\#}
\Keyword{\percent}
\Keyword{\}
\Keyword{\backslash}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\Keyword{/}
--
but i can't get any of the the remaining ones ( ! | ^ + - * ) to.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!
I was then going to go on to add an indexing command:
\define[1]\Keyword{%
{\startcolor[darkgreen]\bf{#1}\stopcolor}
\index{#1}}
but this wasn't working either...
Help!
