Hi Luigi,
hm, did not know this one. Still I can not see that this is going to fit in my situation. I refer to may other mail I sent a minute ago. - The thing is, that the document I am building should be multilingual and therefore I need at the lua-end the lowercase text which should be made first-letter-uppercase at the moment it is typeset.
Thanks
Willi
