How can I write Łódź (on a Mac)?

Just as you wrote it in your mail message? ConTeXt knows how to deal with utf-8

On the Mac, if you are using an 'English' keyboard, you can hold down any letter for half a second or so and see a popup selection of alternate accented versions of that letter. Not all text editors / word processors support it but TeXShop does. No need for cut & paste templates. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Thanks to all of you for your hints and comments! I thought \l does work, why \L does not. To type \L is faster than changing the keyboard language when I write in German normally.

try \def\L{\char"0141} but I have no real knowledge about ConTeXt ... Herbert

For those characters which your OS doesn't make it easy to input: https://jkorpela.fi/fui.html8 Most OSes also have apps for this. Den lör 18 maj 2024 17:36Wolfgang Schuster < wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com> skrev:

1. Hans made a while ago the decision to reduce the number of commands to output certain characters and create accented characters. To still be able to create them he added the \with... commands.

2. The reason why \L doesn't produce Ł are the following lines from chem-str.mkxl which nils the values of all listed commands.

\permanent\let\X\relax \permanent\let\T\relax \permanent\let\B\relax \permanent\let\L\relax \permanent\let\M\relax \permanent\let\R\relax

The same thing happens for the \CC commands which gets reset in tabl-com.mkxl

\permanent\protected\lettonothing\CC

Hi folks,

I have problems to produce the polish l.

\l gives ł, but \L gives nothing!

How can I write Łódź (on a Mac)?

It seems that you can´t write it with the normal keyboard. There is an action "stroke" but it is not bound to any key.

There are two alternatives:

You can design your own keyboard layout with Ukulele: https://software.sil.org/ukelele/

Or you could use the "Deutsch-Europa" keylayout from: https://github.com/fiee/tools

This Layout has been designed by Henning Hraban Ramm and offers easy access to greek and cyrillic letter, as well as ł and Ł (via option-o l and option-o L).
