Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\starttext
\def\Persona{señor Juan Martínez}
\def\Persona{señora María Pérez}
El/La \Persona\ ha aprobado.
\stoptext
How can I replace "El/La" in text with a command that can assign the
proper article?
I could use the translate module, but the real case is more complex than
the previous sample.
What I need in the command is that it can check the first word in the
command \Persona and assign "el" or "la".
Which is the right way to do this?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Hi Hans,
Nice code Hans!… But somehow your replacer code gives always « el » even in front of « señora »…
It seems that your lua code for replacer sees « señor » and does not check whether it is « señora » or not.
If one modifies a little bit the code into the following, the issue is solved: (changing « señora » into « senora »)
%%%%%%%%%%%
\startluacode
local replacer = lpeg.replacer {
["senora"] = "la señora",
["señor"] = "el señor",
}
function document.MaleOrFemale(str)
context(lpeg.match(replacer,str))
end
\stopluacode
\unexpanded\def\MaleOrFemale#1%
{\ctxlua{document.MaleOrFemale("#1")}}
\starttext
whatever \MaleOrFemale{señor Juan Martínez} and \MaleOrFemale{senora María Pérez}
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%
Is it possible to have your replacer check the entire first words?
Best regards: OK

Many thanks for your replies, Hans and Otared.
Adding a blank space after “señor” and “señora” is also a workaround for
this particular issue:
local replacer = lpeg.replacer {
["señora "] = "la señora ",
["señor "] = "el señor ",
}
How can I specify that the replacer takes not only strings but complete
words?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

local replacer = lpeg.replacer {
{ "señora", "la señora" },
{ "señor", "el señor" },
