You can use the \fontalternative command to check for the current alternative (upright, italic, bold etc.) of the font.

\def\Test
  {\processaction
     [\fontalternative]
[     tf=>Upright,
           it=>Italic,
           sl=>Slanted,
           bf=>Bold,
           bi=>Bolditalic,
           bs=>Boldslanted,
      unknown=>Unknown fontalternative]}
  
\starttext
“\Test” {\it “\Test”} {\bs “\Test”} {\sc “\Test”}
\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

Sorry, only one more question on this topic: isn’t it possible to define
something such as the following pseudocode?

if emphasis (or italics):
(\ConTeXt}{definition}
elif smallcaps:
(\ConTeXt}{definition}
else:
(\ConTeXt}{definition}

Well, I guess Ι‘m that picky about it :-).

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
