OK, I will use external files next time. In this quick-and-dirty approach I just added string.format since it was easier than restructuring everything.

I thought that \startluacode should be behaving the same way as verbatim environments where commands inside verbatim have no influence, but apparently I was wrong.

I also think so. Can be strange, but inside a \startluacode\stopluacode I have no problems to think at -- as comment while I have problems to think to % as comment

And put lua code in a separate file not always is a good solution

This would be really great, \start/stoplua with % for comments like \ctxlua and \start/stopluacode with -- as comment, the first is used for longer settings in macros and the second for inline functions.

@Luigi: You could try to parse the luacode content with Lpeg and with the result back to \directlua.

Correction: -- works as comments in luacode % is used to format strings Wolfgang
