Gonçalo, "Extended ASCII" is relatively uninformative without some information on which encoding you're actually using (ASCII is normative from 0-127). I'll guess you mean '§' (Section mark), which, judging from regi-win and regi-il1, is my guess for the character you mean. (On the mac, it's 'ß' or the eszett, which is less likely judging from your email address.)
ConTeXt makes this easy: just use the macro \sectionmark . If the original document uses an "extended ascii" encoding for characters like this, you might find it easier to use this at the beginning of your document: \enableregime[il1] % ...or... \enableregime[windows] % as appropriate. Patrick is very right, and alludes to a (potentially) confusing topic, with font encodings and input regimes. They're actually a very nice, powerful aspect of ConTeXt, where you enter text using your most familiar method, and don't have to worry where each glyph is located on a day-to- day basis. Hope that's some help... adam Gonçalo Morais said this at Sat, 3 Jan 2004 11:59:21 +0000: >Thanks for your help... > >I am aware of \char167 isntruction but in the next example nothing seems to >happen!! > >Gonçalo > > >Pawel Jackowski na Onet writes: > >> Hi all! >> >> >>> I would like to know how I may use extended ascii characters in context, >> for >>> example character number 167. >> >> I'm sure Hans has made a lot of extensions for ,,strange'' character >> support.
