Hi,
I discovered strange behaviour concerning Lua conditionals within
texdefinitions.
ConTeXt complains: 'then' expected near 'thenelseend'.
I guess it has something to do with how the content of a
texdefinitions is grabbed. Seems like a bug or is this by design?
When you use the texdefinition environment to create a command
the end of line character which results normally in a space is ignored
sees “thenelseend” as a single string, in such a case you can add
a space and put a comment sign at the end of the line.

% This one fails
% \starttexdefinition mycmd
%   \startluacode
%     if true then
%     else
%     end
%   \stopluacode
% \stoptexdefinition
\starttexdefintion mycmd
 \startluacode
   if true then %
   else %
   end
 \stopluacode
\stoptexdefinition
Why does adding semicolon not work?
