Well, upon reading the document you suggested, I just realised that I could work around my issue by creating A.tex and B.tex as follows:

A.tex: \startluacode -- define A's variables \stopluacode \input generic

And a similar b.tex. This is more flexible in terms of my implementation constraints as well.

if you make a file "whatever.cld" like:

local name = "ward.tex"

context.starttext() context.title(name) context.blank() context.input(name) context.stoptext()

you can directly runt it with the "context" command.

Thanks Hans. This is a cleaner solution; I'll adopt it in the next document I am writing today. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah
