Hi Luigi,
Thanks for your very quick response, just great! Your suggestion works!
By the way, what does this expanded mean, is it documented somewhere? Is it a
typical MKIV thing related to Lua?
It’s a typical way in MkIV to check for the existing of values in “command”
keys but it has nothing to do with Lua.
I can demonstrate the purpose of \unexpanded with the following example. First
I create the two
command \one and \two, afterwards I add \expandedone and \expandedtwo which
hold the
expanded values of \one and \two.
As you can see I get the same text with \one and \expandedone. In the next step
I redefine \one
and \two to hold a new value and compare again the content of all four macros.
Unlike in the
previous output \one and \expandedone are different while \two and \expandedtwo
show
the same result. The reason why \expandedtwo show “Second” is that
\unexpanded\def
prevented the expansion of \two in \edef\expandedtwo{…}.
\starttext
\def\one{One}
\unexpanded\def\two{Two}
\edef\expandedone{\one}
\edef\expandedtwo{\two}
\startlines
\one:\expandedone
\two:\expandedtwo
\stoplines
\def\one{First}
\def\two{Second}
\startlines
\one:\expandedone
\two:\expandedtwo
\stoplines
\stoptext
