Hello,
I would like to activate a remapper in a style or module file. How could
this be done?
I tried this without success:
\defineremapper[filterItem]
\remapcharacter[filterItem][`•]{\item}
\appendtoks \startfilterItem \to \everystarttext
\prependtoks \stopfilterItem \to \everystoptext
TIA for any hints!
Cheers, Peter

Wolfgang mentioned the method with active character. And there is also this one: \startluacode function my_replace(line) return line:gsub('• ', '\\item ') end callback.register('process_input_buffer', my_replace) \stopluacode \starttext \startitemize • bla • bla • bla \stopitemize \stoptext I like the latter one, because it permits also replacing whole words and much more.
