- - tex.modes are 'false' by default. I.e. they are not 'nil' but 'false', even if not specified on the command line. (tex.mode.__newindex predefined to this purpose?)
indeed
- There is no table of arguments or variables being passed by --arguments="ARG=arg" or by --variable="VAR=var" from the command line.
indeed (--arguments is an old mechanism and mkii compatible)
- All arguments passed to the command line are accessible by document.arguments. Unfortunately, when repeating an arg, only the last is accessible, e.g.
context.exe t.mkiv --arguments="ARG1=arg1" --arguments="ARG2=arg2"
indeed, so one can easily overload
will cause that only (string) "ARG2=arg2" will be in document.arguments.arguments.
as mentioned by someone already, use "a=1,b=2,c=3"
- - That means also that not splitting to key-value pair is not performed by default (document.arguments.arguments is still "ARG2=arg2", no splitting to document.arguments.arguments.ARG2 to be "arg2" is not done).
indeed, although they are split and assigned at the tex end
- Not only predefined options/switches, but all args passed by command line are accessible by document.arguments. I.e. it's possible to call
context.exe t.mkiv --myvar=MYVAR
right, but make sure to use a prefix so that there is no confusion (myvarone myvartwo etc)
and later it's possible to get "MYVAR" from document.arguments.myvar.
Let's check the call:
context.exe t.mkiv --arguments=AAA=aaa --mode=MMM --arguments=BBB=bbb --myvar=MYVAR
