Lowercasing section titles

Lowercasing section titles

[Nikolai Weibull]

Hi!

I would like to lowercase section titles within the document while
retaining their casing in the table of contents.  I’ve tried figuring
out how to use setuphead[section][textcommand=...] to do what I wish,
but failed.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
        nikolai

No suggestion, but I'd be interested too. I've tried many different
approaches. Most did nothing. A couple modified the text both on the
page and in the TOC. One even corrupted the .tui file. All I can say is
it isn't as easy as it sounds.

Does this help? It's ugly, but somewhat functional

% the unexpanded is because we do not want
% actual \lowercase commands in the contents list
\unexpanded\def\dodowncase{\lowercase}

% The redefinition of \dodowncase removes the \lowercase command locally
\def\myplacecontent{{\def\dodowncase{}\placecontent}}

\starttext

\myplacecontent

\section{\dodowncase{This is A SECtion}}
\subsection{\dodowncase{This is A sub-SECtion}}
\subsection{\dodowncase{Another Subsec}}

\stoptext

Cool, thanks. That's a trick I've seen a few times but still haven't
learned to use properly.

Ah, this works great.  It can even be placed inside a \setuphead as the
textcommand and it works.  Thanks,
