Hi, list. I read about this:

But I want to know how to pass data to the .tuc file directly from Lua. I think about some complex strings are calculations which are done in each pass and slow down the whole compilation process. Something like:

local function factorial(n) if in_tuc then -- whatever in_tuc means return factorials[n] else ... factorials[n] = ... return ... end end

Is that feasible? Should I use the CLD versions of the TeX macros instead?

Does this help: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Key_Value_Assignments#Multi-pas... Aditya
