I've a little feature request: It would be nice, to have a command line option like "--setvalue x=y" or similar for the "context" command to define a variable for the job.
Modes are already very nice, but often I need just one value for conditional compiling a document instead of many binary switches.
Perhaps the "context --arguments" option is what I'm looking for, but I didn't find how to use it.
Hello,
After reading a bit in mtx-context.lua, I've found out how to use --arguments:
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 ? -- luigi
