Good evening gurus!
Why is the minimal example failing? i.e. executing always the
else-branch?
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setvariables
[Test]
[Number=]
\starttext
Value of variable Number before test: \getvariable{Test}{Number}
\crlf
\doifemptyelse{\getvariable{Test}{Number}}
{\dorecurse
{5}
{TEST}
}
{Nothing defined \par
Contents of variable Number: \getvariable{Test}{Number}
}
\stoptex
there's also
\doifelsevariable {Test} {Number}
that can be used
in this case
\doifelseemptyvariable{Test}{Number}{...}{...}
is the better choice
