User-Defined Commands With Key-Value Options
Dear everyone, I am currently typesetting the old (published in 1707) French Bible of David Martin using ConTeXt MkIV. The source code looks like this: \startproduct martin1707 \startproject bibles % Page layout, fonts, language, etc. \startbiblebook[number={1}, name={Genéſe}, abbreviation={Gen.}, title={Le premier livre de Moyſe dit la Genéſe}] \startbiblechapter[number={1}] \startbibleverse[number={1}] Au commencement Dieu créa les cieux & la terre. \stopbibleverse \stopbiblechapter \stopbiblebook \startbiblebook[number={45}, name={Romains}, abbreviation={Rom.}, title={Epiſtre de ſaint Paul apoſtre aux romains}] \startbiblechapter[number={12}] \startbibleverse[number={1}] Je vous exhorte donc, \bibleaddition{mes} fréres, par les compaſſions de Dieu, que vous préſentiez vos corps en ſacrifice vivant, ſaint, agréable à Dieu, \bibleaddition{qui eſt} vôtre raiſonnable ſervice. \stopbibleverse \startbibleverse[number={2}] Et ne vous conformez point à ce préſent ſiecle, mais ſoyez transformez par le renouvellement de vôtre entendement, afin que vous éprouviez quelle eſt la volonté de Dieu, bonne, & agréable, & parfaite. \stopbibleverse \stopbiblechapter \stopbiblebook \stopproduct As you may know, all the Bibles are divided into books, and each book into chapters, and each chapter into verses. The purpose of \startbiblebook, \startbiblechapter, and \startbibleverse is to control the formatting thereof respectively (as \startsection, \startsubsection, etc., control the formatting of sections, subsections, etc.) Now, as you see. these commands are user-defined commands with key-value options. My goal is to define the way they do the formatting with Lua. But I do not know how to do. I know a bit about programming, so learning Lua is not a problem. Thanking you in advance, All the best, Yours faithfully.

So how would you like to use lua? Is the data stored in lua?
