Re: [NTG-context] setting variable on cmd-line

test-file:

\starttext Value of myVar: \ctxlua{tex.print(document.arguments["arguments=myVar"])} \stoptext

cmd-line:

context --arguments=myVar=myValue test

But this syntax is very strange! Does context --arguments="myVar=myValue" test work too ?

Yes, I'm using bash, so --arguments="myVar=myValue" is the same as --arguments=myVar=myValue That means, context does not see the quotes. But I've also tried this: context --arguments=\"myVar=myValue\" test Error: MTXrun | unknown script 'context --arguments="myVar=myValue.lua' or 'mtx-context --arguments="myVar=myValue.lua' Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
