Another question:
I think I understood the need for function arguments.
My macro, defined with interfaces.implement, works while I call "Image" below,
but if I call "ClippedImage" (one level of indirection more), I get:
"""
tex error > tex error on line 28 in file virtual://page.nopage.1: Missing { inserted
...(no helpful output here)...
A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.
"""
I can’t imagine where to put that brace.
function Image(Width, Height, filename)
context.externalfigure(
{ filename },
{
width = todimen(Width),
}
)
end
function ClippedImage(Width, Height, filename)
context.clip(
{
width = todimen(Width),
height = todimen(Height),
},
Image(Width, Height, filename)
)
end

TeX: \def\Something{1cm} Lua: context.Something()
yes (assuming you're in scope)
Then I’m out of scope. \def is in my environment, directly before I load the Lua functions with \loadluafile. How can I access the macros from the environment there?
2) The original interface of \MyFun had two optional parameters. I couldn’t find how to do that with interfaces.implement. cld-mkiv, p.151 (12.7) shows how to do lists or key=value, but not single optional args.
there is "optional"
and ... cld is not yet updated to lmtx in this respect so some newer features are missing
Must I then declare "string optional" etc.?
