expansion and doifelse
Hello, Here's a MNWE: ------------------------------- \starttext \def\A{a} %\def\A{b} \ctxlua{LuaA("\doifelse{\A}{a}{ey}{bee}")} \stoptext ------------------------------- I put \expanded and \expandafter here and there, but couldn't get this to work. Is the problem due to \doifelse scanning its input? If yes, how can we handle this? Thanks, Mohammad

This works: \starttext \def\A{a} \def\A{b} \cldcontext{"\\doifelse{\\A}{a}{ey}{bee}"} \stoptext as does this: \starttext \def\A{a} \def\A{b} \ctxlua{context("\\doifelse{\\A}{a}{ey}{bee}")} \stoptext -- Rik
In my case, the Lua function will run some processing on the input from
\doifelse.

Replace \doifelse with \expdoifelse or \expandeddoifelse. Wolfgang
Thanks! That's what I needed. --Mohammad On Sat, Mar 29, 2025 at 2:23 PM Wolfgang Schuster < wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
