I will try to do this using lua loop. I should learn it. I am learning so many new things currently that I have not had a chance to learn Lua.
lua is not all that different from other languages such as python or perl; once you've grasped the concept of one syntax, you should be able to learn others and write lua code pretty soon.
I was wondering if Aditya's filter module could be used to use Python instead of Lua, but I suppose I should ask that as a new question.
Aditya's filter module is for highlighting code, it will not run python code within luatex.
hm, no http://modules.contextgarden.net/filter Short description: A module to run external programs on the contents of start-stop evironment
I think Luigi once played with a module that allowed embedding python within luatex (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso#Luatex_hosts_python and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/luatex_lunatic), but I think he has since given up on this project. Yes, it's too much old and messy code. Let's say that it's something to do, sooner or later (more later than sooner) .
