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

Hi Pablo, Thanks for your answer: actually I did not know that it is possible to concatenate so easily in lua… Your solution is indeed simpler than what I did and solves also the problem of the spurious space before the closing parenthesis. Best regards: OK

Hi,

I would like to print in a text the values of a array computed in a \startluacode …. \stopluacode combination. How can I do it properly? Please have a look at the example below and its output, which is not satisfactory because the right parenthesis is separated from the number by a space. How can I suppress this unwanted space? For instance I get (1, 103 ) instead of (1, 103).

Hi Otared,

is there any reason not to use the following instead of your way below?

for i = 1,n do tex.print("(" .. vecteurX[i] .. ", " .. vecteurY[i] .. ")\\par") end

...

for i = 1,n do context("(") tex.print(vecteurX[i]) context(", ") tex.print(vecteurY[i]) tex.print(")") context.par() end

I think this is shorter and clearer (to me, at least).

Just in case it helps,
