And if text is foo you want Foo ?
In char-ini.lua, among others, there is
function characters.upper(str)
local new, n = { }, 0
for u in utfvalues(str) do
n = n + 1
new[n] = ucchars[u]
end
return concat(new)
end
The idea is to take the first character from characters.upper(str),
and all but not first from str
and then join them using concat.

Re: [NTG-context] context.labeltext(...)
Hello Wolfgang,
thanks for your reply.
I see that I was not quite clear with my explanation.
The situation is the following:
in a function which runs over the months of the year at a certain moment I need
to insert at the ConTeXt side the monthname. However the monthname returned by
the following statement is all lowercase, which is ok for the translation of
the labeltext. In the document however I need the labeltext in with a starting
uppercase letter. The question is therefor how to achieve this uppercase first
letter
\startluacode
function monthtable(month)
local direct = true
local nofdays = converters.nofdays(os.date(%Y),month,direct)
direct = false
local d = os.date(%B,os.time({year=os.date(%Y),month= month,day=1}))
context.bTABLE({setups=table:month})
context.bTR({align=middle})
context.bTD()
context.labeltext(d)
-- context.labeltext(%s,interfaces.variables.january)
context.eTD()
context.eTR()
for i = 1, 31 do
context.bTR()
context.bTD()
if i nofdays +1 then
context(i)
else
context()
end
context.eTD()
context.eTR()
end
context.eTABLE()
end
\stopluacode
\def\maandtabel#1{\ctxlua{monthtable(#1)}}
\starttext
\maandtabel{2)
\stoptext
Kind regards
Willi

Re: [NTG-context] context.labeltext(...)
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

The first letter in the month name you get from Lua is uppercase as you can see in the output from your example. To make the first letter uppercase at the TeX side you can use “context.Word(...)”.
