Pyramiding \defs

Pyramiding \defs

[Holzminister]

Hi!

Can perhaps anyone explain to me why the example works in one case, but
not in the other?

>>>
\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage [de]

% \def\werte#1{\em [#1]}   % +++ works
\def\werte#1{{\em [#1]}}   % --- doesn't work

\def\moretest{}

\def\test%
{
	Testtext
	\def\moretest%
	{
		More Testtext
	}
}

\starttext

\werte{\test}

\moretest

\stoptext
>>>

Thanks in advance,
Eyke

Grouping. For a simpler example

{\def\moretest{More test}}
\moretest

will not work. What you need to do is

{\gdef\moretest{More test}}
\moretest.
