Hi.
At the outset, I understand that this is a slight abuse of LuaTeX and this can be done with plain TeX. Nevertheless, I'd like to see if a solution exists for this approach.
I'm trying to use Lua with ConTeXt as a macro preprocessor. To be more clear, I have files A.lua, B.lua which define some variables:
A.lua: var1 = "something for a" var2 = "something else for a"
B.lua: var1 = "something for b" var2 = "something else for b"
And, in my ConTeXt file, I would write: … I will get \directlua{tex.print(var1) and \directlua{tex.print(var2)}. …
Now, with lualatex, I use the --lua command line option to pass the initial lua file name. However, for context, I've not found a way to do this. Could someone please advise me?
