Hello Everyone, Consider the following MWE: \define\author{Devendra Ghate} \starttext \type{\author} \stoptext As mentioned on the wiki, this doesn't expand `\author` but rather prints it as it is. However, I would like `\author` to be expanded before it is typeset. Is this possible? Regards, Devendra Ghate

Type is for verbatim material. If you want monospaced fonts, use \mono{\author}. Aditya
