Dear list,

I have the following sample:

\replaceword[some][via ][Vía] \replaceword[some][calle ][c/ ] \replaceword[some][ calle][ Calle] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2em] This is what I get:

\setreplacements[some]% calle via del viaducto de la calle

\resetreplacements This is what I need:

c/ Vía del viaducto de la Calle \stopTEXpage \stoptext

Is there any way to get spaces in the string to be replaced? not with a lot of effort on my end which i'm not willing to invest in something that is just a hack for bad input ... tex has no spaces so
