Do \luaexpr{1/3.8} and \ctxcommand{format("@0.3f",1/3.8)} return numbers or strings? That is, I would like to use these results in a \if or \ifnum command to exit a \doloop.
they return tokens i.e. \ifnum\luaexpr{math.round(1/3.8)}>1\relax should work ok; it all depends on what you do, but you could also set a counter ans use that: \ctxlua{tex.count.scratchcounter=math.round(1/3.8)} \ifnum\scratchcounter>0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
