Subject: Re: [NTG-context] expansion and variables

From: Hans Hagen
Something’s wrong with my code. I’ll try to keep a status to output a certain marker only the first time after a change. With the code below I get it never.
I guess it’s an expansion problem again, but I didn’t find the right places for \expanded – if I use it in front of every \getvariable, I get the output every time.
Please help… Hraban
\setevariable
\setvariable{Thing}{Status}{1} \setvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}{0}
\define[1]\startThing{ \setvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}} \setvariable{Thing}{Status}{#1} <<< %
\doifnot{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}}{\getvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}}{% \bold{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}}% }% }
\def\stopThing{>>>\par}
\starttext
\startThing{A} a \stopThing \startThing{B} b \stopThing \startThing{A} c \stopThing \startThing{C} d \stopThing \startThing{C} e \stopThing \startThing{A} f \stopThing \startThing{A} g \stopThing \startThing{A} h \stopThing
