How to store command line arguments in ConTeXt LUA Documents?
Hi all, Is it possible to store context command line arguments into lua variables? I found http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getdocumentargument but it only prints the argument. I can not store it for further processing. What I would like to do is something like this: -- start of the example something = context.getcommandlineargument("ARG1") -- doesn't exist -- make some tests here to check if 'something' has the right syntax context.startdocument{title = something} context.input("knuth") context.stopdocument() -- end of the example Then, one has just to launch: $ context file.cld --ARG1="My first title" Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss

environment.arguments Thank you. It works very well.
I did not find this table in any documentation. Did I forget something? If I want to document it, what is the best place? - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getdocumentargument - another place in the wiki which evokes lua environment tables... All the best. -- Romain Diss
