Hi, I uploaded a new version (both mkiv and lmtx). We removed some low level no longer used code (older engines), normalized some in the process, fixed a few things, etc. === lmtx only === While updating the cld manual I decided to also add an other table mechanism (in addition to the one already reported in an earlier mail). I have no clue how useful it is, but as usual with tex, users find ways to (ab)use it. This one behaves a bit more like registers. A hashed one is defined as: \newhashedtable\somehashtable \somehashtable{ foo = 123, bar = "foo" } [123 = \the\somehashtable{foo}] [123 = \the\somehashtable foo ] [foo = \the\somehashtable{bar}] [foo = \the\somehashtable bar ] \bgroup \somehashtable{ foo = 456, bar = "oof" } [456 = \the\somehashtable{foo}] [oof = \the\somehashtable{bar}] \egroup [123 = \the\somehashtable{foo}] [foo = \the\somehashtable{bar}] \bgroup \global\somehashtable{ foo = 456 } \somehashtable{ bar = "oof" } [456 = \the\somehashtable{foo}] [oof = \the\somehashtable{bar}] \egroup [456 = \the\somehashtable{foo}] [foo = \the\somehashtable{bar}] or an indexed one: \newindexedtable\someindextable \someindextable{ 123, "foo" } [123 = \the\someindextable 1] [123 = \the\someindextable \numexpr 2 - 1\relax] [foo = \the\someindextable 2] [foo = \the\someindextable \numexpr 1 + 1\relax] \bgroup \someindextable{ 456, "oof" } [456 = \the\someindextable 1] [oof = \the\someindextable 2] \egroup [123 = \the\someindextable 1] [foo = \the\someindextable 2] \bgroup \global\someindextable{ [1] = 456 } \someindextable{ [2] = "oof" } [456 = \the\someindextable 1] [oof = \the\someindextable 2] \egroup [456 = \the\someindextable 1] [foo = \the\someindextable 2] In both cases, local and global assignments are supported. At the Lua end you can access these tables too: context.hashedtables.somehashtable.bar context.indexedtables.someindextable[2] There is some overhead involved but performance and memory usage is quiite okay.
