defining a comamnd as variable which behaves as constant
Dear list, I have the following document: \mainlanguage[es] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \dorecurse{27}% {\def\abcd{\convertnumber{a}{\recurselevel}}% \dorecurse{27}% {\abcd\convertnumber{a}{\recurselevel} }\par} \stopTEXpage \stoptext I want to test all lowercase-letter pairs in Spanish. Excuse me for my missing programming notions. For the sample above, I would need a command that behaves as a variable when defined, but as a constant when invoked. Is there any way to achieve that without using counters? Sorry if there is too much nonsense in the previous paragraph. But I need to know how to do it for another example too. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Thank you very much for your reply, Aditya. I have seen \edef for years, but I didn’t know what it actually was. Many thanks again for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

You can use Lua to create a list of all character combinations. The convert function takes three argument, the first is the conversion method, the second the conversion value and the third the language (optional and only used by certain conversion methods).
\starttext \startluacode for i = 1,27 do for j = 1,27 do context(converters.convert("a",i,"es")) context(converters.convert("a",j,"es")) context.par() end end \stopluacode \stoptext Wolfgang
