Good evening gurus!
Why is the minimal example failing? i.e. executing always the else-branch?
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setvariables [Test] [Number=]
\starttext Value of variable Number before test: \getvariable{Test}{Number} \crlf
\doifemptyelse{\getvariable{Test}{Number}} {\dorecurse {5} {TEST} } {Nothing defined \par Contents of variable Number: \getvariable{Test}{Number} }
\stoptex because that one doesn't expand the argument
\doifelsenothing \doifelsesomething \doifnothing \doifsomething can be used for your purpose ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
