While going through the posts I had stowed away because I found them interesting, I came along this one. There is not a problem here, just a tiny observation. In order to work \doifelse{a}{\doifelse{x}{x}{a}{b}}{yes}{no} properly it is sufficient that the inner \doifelse is of the expandable kind. Thus \doifelse{a}{\expdoifelse{x}{x}{a}{b}}{yes}{no} yields the same as \expdoifelse{a}{\expdoifelse{x}{x}{a}{b}}{yes}{no} Hans van der Meer On 21 May 2017, at 10:21, Wolfgang Schuster mailto:schuster.wolfgang@gmail.com> wrote: \starttext \expdoifelse{a}{\expdoifelse{x}{x}{a}{b}} {yes} {no} \stoptext Wolfgang Henri Menkemailto:henrimenke@gmail.com 21. Mai 2017 um 10:14 Dear list, Motivated by this question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/370868 I was fiddling around with the \doifelse conditionals. I noticed that most of them are not expandable, which makes it very difficult to concatenate them. Here a simple example \starttext \doifelse{a}{% \doifelse{x}{x}{a}{b}% <- evaluates to "a" but not expandable }{yes}{no} \stoptext This outputs "no" even though "a" is equal to "a". Would it be possible to substitute these conditionals by expandable ones? I would volunteer to help make them expandable.
