let allowed me some pessimism. I am working on our 40-years-scout-group-bulletin intensively for more then a month. I have to solve many many technical problems instead on focusing on the design. The Bulletin is rather complex but many problems are 'simple'. I start to doubt if ConTeXt (and that is why TeX generally) is good tool for such typsetting. Detective debugging is good fun but if time is going, no results, and the list of todo technical unwanted features is increasing...
(btw, magazines can be doen quite well with columnsets) Here is a patched WORD (core-fnt): \chardef\uppercasemode\plusone % 0=ignore 1=normal 2=expand \unexpanded\def\WORD#1% {\bgroup \the\everyuppercase \let\smallcapped\firstofoneargument \let\WORD\firstofoneargument \let\dochar\rawcharacter \ifcase\uppercasemode #1% \or % No expansion here, otherwise \getvalue problems! Default!!! %\edef\next{#1}% keep this to prevent roll back %\uppercase\expandafter{\next}% keep this to prevent roll back \uppercase{#1}% \or \expanded{\uppercase{#1}}% needed when in utf8 \fi \egroup} And here a patched \definecharacter (enco-ini) \def\numcharacter#1{\char#1 } \let\dochar\numcharacter \def\definecharacter#1 #2 % {\ifundefined{#1}\setvalue{#1}{\dohandlecharacter{#1}}\fi \doifnumberelse{\string#2} {\setevalue{\characterprefix\characterencoding\string#1}% {\dochar{#2}}% \doautosetregime{#1}{#2}} {\setvalue{\characterprefix\characterencoding\string#1}{#2}}} % goes on top of enco-utf \prependtoks \doif\currentregime{utf}{\chardef\uppercasemode\plustwo}% \to\everyuppercase % \input enco-ini-new.tex % \startmapping [ec] % \defineuppercasecom \something \nothing % \stopmapping \input enco-ec.tex % needed when no new format \starttext \enableregime[utf] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] ť Ť \ccaron \WORD{ť Ť \ccaron} \stoptext I didn't test this with latin input; the trick is to let the named glyphs expand to a raw character which then can be uppercased by tex. quite dirty. It is dangerous to do this always because in the case of written/reread data we cannot output raw characters since they would eb regimes again (this time in the wrong way).
