Hi, very interesting and promissing indeed. Great idea! If this happened sooner, a lot of effort on extending pdftex could have been saved.

next step

Hi, We need to consider the next steps. For instance: - in addition to registers, also support lccode/uccode/etc access - provide a \luaesc primitive that escapes characters, which makes it possible to say for instance \lua{str = "\luaesc{#1}"} with #1 containing " - provide access to the hash, i.e. tex.hash["whatever"] = "some text" as well as str = tex.hash["whatever"] we need to figure out a clean way to use variables like pagegoal, maybe just tex.pagegoal - consider the luapdftex variant to use omega like registers instead of etex sparse arrays just a start -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, Since this is the first mail to the list ... i attach the presentation done at tug 2005 since it summarizes the state of the project as well as some demo's at that time. There may be errors in it, but beter have this than a bunch of dutch/english mails.
