Hi, Adam. There are some ways to do it. I'm sure there are many more, but I don't remember them right now. Hi, Hans. There's a bug (?) in syst-lua.lua related to \expression in MkIV (xmath and xcomplex aren't defined). Please fix that
%Temporary hack for MkIV
%Only use it in case \expression ... \relax doesn't work
\startmkivmode
\startluacode
xmath = xmath or math
xcomplex = xcomplex or {} --maybe math too???
\stopluacode
\stopmkivmode
\starttext
$\pi = \ctxlua{context("\letterpercent.6f", math.pi)}$
$\pi = \expression string.format("\letterpercent.6f", pi)\relax$
%Changing catcodes so $ and % are letter characters
\startasciimode
\m{\pi = \expression ("%.6f"):format(pi) \relax}
\m{\pi = \ctxlua{context("%.6f", math.pi)}}
\stopasciimode
\stoptext
Regards,
Jairo
___________________________________________________________________________________Hi,
I was trying to use a quick calculation like the new mathfun in lmtx for an older mkiv document.
MWE from the wiki:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Programming_in_LuaTeX#Examples
\starttext
$\pi = \ctxlua{context("\%.6f", math.pi)}$
\stoptext
But that gives an error (actually for both lmtx and mkiv): token call, syntax: [ctxlua]:1: invalid escape sequence near '"\%'Whereas\starttext
$\pi = \startluacode context("%.6f", math.pi) \stopluacode$
\stoptextWorks fine as expected.Is there a way to escape the percentage sign in ctxlua as a format value?Adam
