Should multiple <lowercase> evaluate to {lowercase}<star>{/lowecase} and {lowercase}<star2>{/lowecase}?

Hi!,

You know me of course, i was writing a test for the tag. As its an alias of {lowercase}{/lowercase} should an other instance of in a reponse not be an alias of {lowercase}{/lowercase}?

Speak with you soon,

Johnny

PS: This is currently not the case on play.rivescript.com. That's why I am asking I was implementing that and double-checking my test on play.. But it only references so the first *. And how then about the other aliases like and (maybe i forget 1 or 2).

Hey @johnnymast

The shortcut tags like <uppercase>, <lowercase>, <formal> and <sentence> only translate to affecting the <star1> tag, for the very niche use cases of simple triggers like:

+ my name is *
- <set name=<formal>>Nice to meet you, <get name>.

I could consider an extension to the language to add numbers to these tags to specify which stars, like <uppercase1> thru <uppercase9> (stars 1-9 are officially documented but some/most implementations may support arbitrary numbers of stars beyond just 9, I'm not sure off hand which do), but as currently defined it's only a shortcut for <star1>
