Hi, I need to write ''''' in a text. However, since it's a special tag in wiki language, I really need it to be 5 times U0027, not ””’ (U201C and U2018). How can I do that? Thanks, Maurício

Hi Maurício,

\starttext \dorecurse5'{} % or \dorecurse{5}{'{}} \stoptext works here. I copied the text from the pdf into a unicode editor and it gives 0027.

Even better: \starttext \defineactivecharacter ' {\otfchar{quoteright}} ''''' \stoptext Tested here. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

(But for the eye it's the same.) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Indeed, I am using mkiv... But you should be able to use \char etc. to get the same effect. pdftex is not working at the moment here -- see my message to the list -- so I can't test this at the moment, but in pdftex there is \unicodecharacter{number} so \unicodecharacter{27} should work. Another option is to use utf8 encoding and insert a zero-width space (200B) between the 0027's. Finally: Did you try \dorecurse{5}{{'}}? {'}{'} should break the dbl-quote just as {f}{i} breaks the fi ligature...

\unicodecharacter wasn't recognized. I do use uft8 encoding, and nothing else (ever). But the problem is not to break the bls-quote, but avoiding ' transformed to ’. Thanks for your help. I'm probably going to try something else, like writing this documentation on a web page. Best, Maurício

Cleaninng up my mailbox (so I'm not sure if you still need the answer) ... Are you using pdfTeX or LuaTeX/XeTeX? In pdfTeX you need to switch the font (or at least change the encoding to texnansi) \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern,10pt] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\quotesingle} % or \char129 \stoptext In new engines you can switch off tlig. If you need that, please ask (but again - you need to be aware that you either need to create a new font instance or switch off conversion into apostrophe globally). Mojca

This works only for MKIV. The OP uses MKII, and his problem is, that MKII translates the ascii character "'" (0x27) to "’" (0xE2 0x80 0x99). Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

That leaves just \tt as option, really. None of the 'normal' encodings in mkii have a straight quote.
texnansi does: grep quotesingle /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/enco- ans.tex \definecharacter quotesingle 129 Thomas
