[...] This time, I have to remove two words, such as in:

But they could be more (and replacements might be added to that list).
Is there a more elegant way than appending :gsub()?
Is there also a proper way for word scanning?
A "word" can be "Word ", " word " " word." " word?" (and so on). I would like to avoid having to code all combinations (of course, if this were already available).
old stuff present for a long time ... probaly documented somewhere ... if not than you have to wikify it ...
Many thanks for your reply, Hans. It is already wikified (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ligatures#Replacements). I wonder whether \replaceword could be extended to replace multiple words and also to remove them. \starttext \replaceword[whatever][this or][no] \replaceword[whatever][that][] \startlines it is this or that {\setreplacements[whatever]it is this or that} {\setreplacements[whatever]it is this or that} it is this or that \stoplines \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
