Dear listmates,
I rely on automated uppercasing and lowercasing a lot and I’m
very happy with the \words and \WORD macros. But I can’t find a
way to properly combine them with the “style” parameter of
highlights: it breaks frames and enumerations. Example:
········································································
\definehighlight [tolower] [style=\words,] %%% This is problematic.
\def\mylower#1{\bgroup\words#1\egroup} %%% The command itself
%%% works, though.
\starttext
FOO \tolower{FOO} FOO\par %%% Works.
\framed{BAR \mylower{BAR} BAR} %%% Works.
\framed{BAR \tolower{BAR} BAR} %%% Fails.
\startitemize %%% Enumerations don’t work either.
\item FOO \mylower{FOO} FOO %%% Works.
\item FOO \tolower{FOO} FOO %%% Fails.
\stopitemize
\stoptext
········································································
In short: while I can always wrap it in a \def, the more elegant
doesn’t work in all cases. Is there anything wrong with my
approach?
Best regards
Philipp

You can use
\definehighlight [tolower] [style={\setcharactercasing[2]}]
to create the \tolower command.

Perfect, thanks a lot. So it was caused by the \groupedcommand in
the definition of \word.

The next version will support named casing:
WORD
word
Word
Words
capitals cap
Capitals Cap
none
random

It would be also useful to change the following line in font-pre.mkiv to use \setcharacterchasing instead of \WORD (won’t work anymore when you remove \groupedcommand from the \WORD as written in the comments in typo-cap.mkiv)
\definealternativestyle [\v!WORD] [\WORD] [\WORD]
Additional entries for \word, Words etc. in font-pre.mkvi are useful as well because “style=word” looks better than “style={\setcharacterchasing[word]}”.

Seconded. That would be of great value and at least I will use it
very often.

I had been thinking about a 'vector' key (in addition to style) but
that's a bit of work as we then need to provide some *vectore variants
as well and integrate it in the style/color switching helpers which is
ab it of work
but anyhow, it doesn't hurt to have them as alternative styles so you
can test it later today (making a beta)
