[NTG-context] Lua conditionals fail inside \starttexdefinition

4 Sep 2012

      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?

% This works fine
\def\mycmd{%
  \startluacode
    if true then
    else
    end
  \stopluacode}

% This one fails
% \starttexdefinition mycmd
%   \startluacode
%     if true then
%     else
%     end
%   \stopluacode
% \stoptexdefinition

\startluacode
  userdata = userdata or { }
  function userdata.myfun()
    if true then
    else
    end
  end
\stopluacode

% This also works fine
\starttexdefinition mycmd
  \luacode{userdata.myfun()}
\stoptexdefinition

\mycmd
