Subject: checking the first word in a command
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 17:49:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54C67024.4000406@gmx.es> (raw)

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
