When you use the texdefinition environment to create a command
the end of line character which results normally in a space is ignored
sees “thenelseend” as a single string, in such a case you can add
a space and put a comment sign at the end of the line.

\starttexdefintion mycmd
  \startluacode
    if true then %
    else %
    end
  \stopluacode
\stoptexdefinition
