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.
