I started to edit an old document with capitalized headings. Making the headings was rather difficult (as can be seen on this list about a year ago), and now it seems to have broken again. I have: \setuphead[title] [page=yes, before={\strut\blank[5*big]}, after={\textrule\blank}, align=middle, style=\tfb, textcommand=\WORD ] This worked fine in the past. Not anymore: 8<--- ! You can't use `\relax' after \the. <recently read> \@sl@\@@pnstate \pushmacro ...ame \@sl@ \@@pushedmacro \endcsname \@@pushedmacro \endcsname #1 \makesectionformat ...macro \@@shortsectionnumber \let \@@shortsectionnumber... \rawreference ...veryreference \makesectionformat \writereference {#2} {\sec... <argument> ...\finalsectionnumber }{\asciititle }} }\fi \executeifdefi!

I use UTF, as it contains all the characters I need. So, what has changed in the \WORD? It works \WORD{fine} within text but not in the headings. TIA, - Ville
