Hi Peter,

I recommend using the following handy little idiom: \ctxlua{commands.doifelse(-45 > 0)}{big}{small} % small

It lets you do all sorts of things that are tricky in TeX: \ctxlua{ commands.doifelse( string.len( "-45" ) > 5 ) }{long}{short}

Cheers, Sietse

Thanks for all the answers so far. The 'doifelse' should do the trick. I was hoping for a system macro, but if there is none, I have to program it myself. :-) Peter Am 21.08.2012 08:56, schrieb Wolfgang Schuster:

For functions in the commands namespace you can write e.g. \ctxcommand{doifelse(…)}{…}{…} instead of \ctxlua{commands.doifelse(…)}{…}{…}.

---- \ctxlua{commands.testcase(condition)} { If true...} {If false}

yes, but testcase is an unfortunate name and sort of obsolete (so best use doifelse) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
