The TeX command \S (section mark) seems to be insensitive to font size
commands. I've tried with
\setuphead[section][sectionstarter=\S]
And the sign is smaller than the surrounding letters. I thought it was a
matter of font design, but I've tried
\setuphead[section][sectionstarter=§]
And it worked. My question is: why? Is it a bug or a feature with
respect to \S? I'm using ConTeXt MKIV version 2020.05.25 23:39 with LuaTeX
I think a side effect of backwards compatibility to plain TeX which
provides \S. The reason for the odd output is that \S is defined as math
symbol and size switches for them work only when you use them in math
mode (you can try \m{\S}).
To get a symbol in the correct size you have to use the \sectionmark
command or use §, there is no difference between both ways.
\starttext
\S \sectionmark §
\ss \S \sectionmark §
\stoptext
