Hi, list!
Is there an analogue to alltt in ConTeXt? https://ctan.org/pkg/alltt
<https://ctan.org/pkg/alltt>
TLDR: It's an environment akin to \starttyping ... \stoptyping, but with
backslash and curly braces as normal characters. Something like
asciimode plus monospaced font.
I know there is /BTEX ... /ETEX, but for some special reason I cannot
add them for my work case and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thank
you in advance.
You can mess with an existing catcode regime (originally a mkii term, in
luametatex / mkiv we made those into catcode tables) or make one yourself:
\starttext
\newcatcodetable \fuzzycatcodes
\startcatcodetable \fuzzycatcodes
\catcode\tabasciicode \spacecatcode
\catcode\endoflineasciicode \endoflinecatcode
\catcode\formfeedasciicode \endoflinecatcode
\catcode\spaceasciicode \spacecatcode
\catcode\spaceasciicode \othercatcode
\catcode\endoffileasciicode \ignorecatcode
\catcode\circumflexasciicode \othercatcode
\catcode\underscoreasciicode \othercatcode
\catcode\ampersandasciicode \othercatcode
\catcode\tildeasciicode \othercatcode

\catcode\backslashasciicode \escapecatcode
\catcode\barasciicode \othercatcode
\stopcatcodetable
\start \catcodetable\fuzzycatcodes \tttf \obeylines \obeyspaces
there are various demands and {\bf solutions}
and it all depends on the kind of input and
expectations of those who do that input
