Subject: Why does startlines not work in a function
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:19:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAG-LmmCF54Ov3M4=kwa3jn7GjG8wwKPak=4ZnFJxAMdBP6y5sA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

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.
