Re: [NTG-context] Bug (Lua) ?

19 Mar 2020


      Lua strings can be split across lines by using so called long brackets according to the Lua Reference Manual:
[[split
string]]

or (very first newline ignored):
[[
split
string]]

or with matched levels: [==[ .... ]==]

Thank you.

\starttext
\startluacode
local letters_1 = { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J" }
local letters_2 = { "1", "Année", "1998", "1999", "2000", "2001", "2002",
"2003", "2004", "2005","2006" }
context.startxtable({"align={middle,lohi},
width=1.2cm,offset=0.8ex,bodyfont=9pt"})
context.startxtable( { align = "middle,lohi", width = "1.2cm", offset = "0.8ex", bodyfont = "9pt" } )
The argument is a lua table. Values are usually strings.
...
context.startxrow({"background=color,backgroundcolor=green"})
context.startxrow( { background = "color", backgroundcolor = "green" } )
... and so on.
A table with just one string entry also works, but lua strings cannot be split across lines. So, if you remove the newline after "align={middle,lohi}, that also works.
