Hi All,
In computer code underscores are used frequently. Until recently sticking
\catcode`\_=12
somewhere at the top did work, but it has become harder. More stuff
seems to reset this, so I know have to stick it just above \starttext.
But that doesn't help in all cases.
I get this for example:
- --------------------------------------------------
structure : begin of sectionblock appendices
(./eposix-classes.tuo
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
<to be read again>
_
<argument> STDC_
BASE
\Eclass #1->#1
\listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1
\endstrut
\doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4
}\dostopattributes
...
l.24 ...class {STDC_BASE}}{3--0-1-1-0-0-0-0--5}{6}
- --------------------------------------------------
And when I look at line 24 in eposix-classes.tuo I see:
\listentry{section}{2}{A.1}{Short form of \Eclass {STDC_BASE}}{3--0-1-1-0-0-0-0--5}{6}
Is there a method to fix this to avoid typing \_ all the time? I just
want a global switch that says _ is perfectly ok. Only inside $ it
should be treated as something special.
