... Well, the situation is that the .cld creates an extra file where the converted (uppercased) string should be written. So I don't need to pass the string to Ctx to convert it and typeset, but to convert it first and to flush it to another file. Lukas On Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:30:34 +0200, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hello,

is there a possibility to use Ctx Lua to convert strings containing diacritics to upper/lower case?

I have a .cld file, UTF-8, and

("Přehledná"):upper() gives "PřEHLEDNá"

whilst the desired result is "PŘEHLEDNÁ".

Is there a way how to solve this? (Maybe another function than Lua's "string.upper()".)

context.WORD("…")

Thanks W&H, both solutions work perfectly. Lukas
