Re: [NTG-context] How to use tex.print in ctxlua

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for letting me know the command string.formatters[….]. It allows to avoid the concatenation, which is to avoid as Thomas points out. Now that I have solved the issue with the spurious space, I have one more question: how could one print the values (vecteuX[i],vecteurY[i]) in a tabulated environment so that when for instance one has 15 such values, one gets 3 lines with 5 values on each line? Best regards: OK

Thanks, as Thomas, Pablo and you mentioned the right way is to use context() instead of tex.print() Actually I just saw that one can also concatenate with context() as in:

context("(" .. vecteurX[i] .. ", " .. vecteurY[i] .. ")\\par")

which is equivalent to tex.print("(" .. vecteurX[i] .. ", " .. vecteurY[i] .. ")\\par") You can use the string.formatters function for this.

\starttext

\startluacode

local string_a = "12" local string_b = "23"

context(string.formatters["(%s,%s)"](string_a,string_b))

\stopluacode

\stoptext
