Hi there! I try to typeset a roleplaying character sheet as PDF form; it contains a table of skills, each line is a \SkillField after this def: \def\SkillField#1#2{\bTR\bTD #1\hfill (#2) \eTD \bTD \definefield[#1][line][SkillSetup][#2]\field[#3]\eTD\eTR} e.g. \SkillField{Climbing}{+8} becomes a table line like: Climbing (+8) [+8] Now there are a lot of skills that contain e.g. umlauts, so that \definefield[#1] fails. I don't like to introduce a third parameter. Is there a possibility to strip all invalid chars from a string, so that \SkillField{Erzählen}{0} can define a field named "Erzaehlen" or "Erzhlen" or "Erzahlen"? (Sorry, I can't program in TeX.) If this is not possible, I'll try an optional parameter. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

just make me s small test file there is lots of sanitizing code/trickery out there, but need a simple self contained example Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hm, it doesn't really have anything to do with my application (defining widget fields), so... \starttext \def\MyIndex#1{\index[\CLEAN{#1}]{#1}} \MyIndex{Ätsch} % should expand to \index[Atsch]{Ätsch} or \index[Aetsch]{Ätsch} \stoptext Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

\MyIndex{Ätsch} % should expand to \index[Atsch]{Ätsch} or \index[Aetsch]{Ätsch}
\stoptext
it's a three line macro to do this kind of things; however, i decided to install yet another expansion handler, \enableregime[windows] \setupregister[index][keyexpansion=strict] \starttext \index[Ätsch]{Ätsch} test \index{QÄtsch} test \index[ratsch]{RÄtsch} test \placeindex \stoptext those who really want to know the details can look into the source and grep for strict in core-sys.tex think of something: \reduceargument an accented mess\to \ascii I will upload a new alpha version in a few hours Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you! Will this also work with field names ( \definefield[Übelkübel]... )? Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

no, what happens when you do that? (i can of course add such code in more places) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
