[NTG-context] Why does startlines not work in a function

2013-04-26 Thread Cecil Westerhof 
I have the following code:
\startlines
  \startalignment[center]
\setupindenting[no]
\doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} {
  longline 1
  longline 2
  longline 3
  longline 4
  longline 5
  longline 6
  longline 7
  longline 8
} {
  shortline 1
  shortline 2
  shortline 3
  shortline 4
}
  \stopalignment
\stoplines

I wanted to put this in a function. So I wrote:
\def\Foo{
  \startlines
\startalignment[center]
  \setupindenting[no]
  \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} {
longline 1
longline 2
longline 3
longline 4
longline 5
longline 6
longline 7
longline 8
  } {
shortline 1
shortline 2
shortline 3
shortline 4
  }
\stopalignment
  \stoplines
}

But then the text becomes one line instead of several lines.


So I had to rewrite it to:
\def\FooTwo{
  \startalignment[center]
\setupindenting[no]
\doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} {
  longline 1

  longline 2

  longline 3

  longline 4

  longline 5

  longline 6

  longline 7

  longline 8
} {
  shortline 1

  shortline 2

  shortline 3

  shortline 4
}
  \stopalignment
}


I called it first Foo2, but that worked havoc on Foo.

because catcode changes are involved

\startbuffer [meta:personalInfo:long]
\startlines
longline 1
longline 2
longline 3
longline 4
longline 5
longline 6
longline 7
longline 8
\stoplines
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer [meta:personalInfo:]
\startlines
shortline 1
shortline 2
shortline 3
shortline 4
\stoplines
\stopbuffer

\starttext

\getbuffer[meta:personalInfo:\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}]

\stoptext

Works. Thanks.
