It seems that you can´t write it with the normal keyboard.
There is an action "stroke" but it is not bound to any key.

There are two alternatives:

You can design your own keyboard layout with Ukulele:
https://software.sil.org/ukelele/

Or you could use the "Deutsch-Europa" keylayout from:
https://github.com/fiee/tools

This Layout has been designed by Henning Hraban Ramm and offers easy 
access to greek and cyrillic letter, as well as ł and Ł (via option-o l 
and option-o L).

[NTG-context] defining hashtag simulator

[seyal . zavira]

Hi all,

I want to define a command that simulate hashtag behavior in social networks,

In other words, this command should put the hashtag sign at the beginning of 
it, replace spaces with dashes and also it should be a clickable link and 
unbreakable world.
I mean like this, for example:
\myhashtag{hello world}
It should be displayed as #hello_world in the final PDF and when clicked it 
will search for #hello_world throughout the pdf
How is this possible?

On the Mac, if you are using an 'English' keyboard, you can hold down any letter

that letter. Not all text editors / word processors support it but TeXShop does. No

Your local OS might support some kind of keyboard language typing to 
place accents, dots and strikings. Check your mac os manual.

The fonts page is a lot better than before[1], IMHO. I would prefer the table 
were 90% width rather than 50 but that is minor.

So is the plan to go through each of the main headings in the left side-bar and 
make the same type of change?

I don't think that is a problem - the Wiki can be updated by others as long as 
the layout/structure of the page is clear so people know where to add links.

Just a comment about typescripts.

At least in how I use ConTeXt, I live happily without having to use them.

See the following sample:

  \definefontfamily[libertin][rm][Libertinus Serif]
  \definefontfamily[libertin][ss][Libertinus Sans]
  \definefontfamily[libertin][tt][Libertinus Mono]
  \definefontfamily[cormora][rm][Cormorant]
  \setupbodyfont[cormora]
  \starttext
  \input zapf\par
  \switchtobodyfont[libertin]
  \doloopoverlist{\rm,\ss,\tt}
  {\recursestring\input zapf\par}
  \stoptext

You may define font families (which are actually typeface families).

I think they may be easier to use than typefaces.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

It might be a buggy code definition, but it may be only triggered by
(yet unknown) special conditions.

I hope you have already solved the issue, but I’m afraid this is the way
testing for new bugs introduced in code works.

Sorry, I no Google fan. But it is essential to provide problematic code
(reduced to a minimal sample) in the messages to the list, not just the
output.

Having the sample code, others can confirm that they are able to
reproduce your issue.

It wouldn’t be the first time for issues only arising in only on a
single installation, on a single computer or on a single OS.

The mailing list (at least when sending from a real email address)
allows attachments up to 100kb. This may be enough for most minimal samples.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
