Hi, For those with access to it, I've put a new beta on the ftp server. The main 'change' is that I changed all (still left) tex.sprint etc calls into calls in the context namespace. Todo is to create a namespace for helpers. The advantage (and reason for doing it) is that tracing with \enabletrackers[context.trace] shows all data passed from lua to tex. This also concerns xml handling. Hopefully it does not have an impact on performance (at least I tried to make sure of that). In the process some code has been cleaned up with respect to handling of newlines (always kind of tricky in tex) and I might have missed something. In addition to the context(..) and context.command(..) comman done can use context.sprint(optional catcode regime, ...).
