Hi Luigi,

hm, did not know this one. Still I can not see that this is going to fit in my situation. I refer to may other mail I sent a minute ago. - The thing is, that the document I am building should be multilingual and therefore I need at the lua-end the lowercase text which should be made first-letter-uppercase at the moment it is typeset. In the first email you talked about a generic label. Uppercase /lower case are unicode sensitive; as Wolfgang already wrote string.lower(..) and string.upper(..) can help , but they depend on

unicode.utf8.lower()/upper() are a better choice for non-ASCII text.

(I still believe the default string manipulation functions should be Unicode aware by default, and the 8-bit ones should be an alternative, not the other way around).

ConTeXt provides also characters.upper()/lower(). Wolfgang
