Thanks Hans, works perfectly. Sorry for the late reply. Still working on the template and got another one. Again, sorry. The journal is in two-column form and the title, authors, and addresses are spanned to the full width. Very common. But the title may acknowledge to some fund(s) and the authors may have email addresses. If I use \note[thanks] and \note[email] to do that, only the markers are shown. That's expected. So I tried to put \postponenotes before the title and insert\placenotes[thanks] and \placenotes[email] after \startcolumns. The notes did show up but in wrong position. I hope there's another magic switch, or I have to put the marks in the title head and put "real" but invisible notes in the two-column texts. Thanks again, Hans.

Hi,

I am going to convince the Board of a journal to consider ConTeXt as an additional option. I want to make a module before I say anything. Right now I have this title problem.

The journal requires the titles to be CAPITALISED, except for the acronyms. I'm currently using backticks`...`to wrap it and replace it with\egroup ...\WORD\bgroup{} with lpeg. This kinda works, but that's so ugly. Besides, the actual story is that I also want to add markdown as an option, so the backticks actually have meanings.

I also checked thetypo-cap.luafile to get a clue. But I used to use TeX exclusively and I have to admit that it's so overwhelming for a newbie.

I really like the way wherebibtextreats words enclosed in curly braces are ignored. Or are there something that's less aggressive than\WORDso the LaTeX trick works: \def\NoCaseChange#1{\noexpand\NoCaseChange{\noexpand#1}} \starttext

\protected\def\casing[#1]{\groupedcommand{\setcharactercasing[#1]}{}}     \protected\def\nocasing {\groupedcommand{\setcharactercasing[reset]}{}}

    \setuphead[chapter][textstyle=\WORD]

    \chapter{some \nocasing{kept} text or \casing[Word]{more} text}

\stoptext
