but that is quite silly. Is there some official command to ‘fix' this issue? \bold{ bla bla} Because of the streaming nature of xml processing via lua, that is not really an option for me, but even if I could make that work for me, I do not like having to write

context(‘{‘) ... context(‘}‘)

in a cld file. To me, that feels like it sort of defeats the purpose.

I can easily define a command, of course, like this:

\def\switchalternativeonly[#1]{\getvalue{#1}\relax}

I had the same idea because we have a \switchstyleonly command. \unexpanded\def\switchalternativeonly[#1]%   {\font_helpers_set_current_font_alternative{#1}}

and then

context.start() context.switchalternativeonly({myvariable}) lxml.flush(t) context.stop()

I was just wondering if there was a nice pre-cooked solution somewhere.

When you don't mind using bold, italic etc. to change the font style. \starttext xx {\applyalternativestyle{bold} xx} xx \stoptext Wolfgang
