striplong

It would be nice if striplong worked, but the example fails when string.striplong is used in place of string.strip. The log says:

! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: attempt to call field 'striplong' (a nil value) stack traceback: [string "\directlua "]:1: in main chunk. Is the format of the call different than shown in the wiki, or is a different mechanism required to quote a potentially long string?

The name of the function is “strings.striplong”.

This should be “utilities.strings.striplong” but it has no effect because when take a look at the saved string in Lua you can see that blank lines are removed from the text. Wolfgang
