Nice http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Module_Namespaces

Can I register lscarso[a-zA-Z]* ?

Why? The obvious method is to use the same name for the namespace as you use for your module name or the command names, e.g. the fancybreak module has the commands \definefancybreak, \setupfancybreak and the namespace „fancybreak“ and Adityas visualcounter module can use the namespace „visualcounter“ (there is no need to use capitals).

I just want to register my namespace(s) to be sure to avoid conflicts not only for modules but also for lua code Think for example to something like document.lscarso = document.lscarso or {} function document.lscarso.lua_pixGetPixel(pixs,x,y) local scratch = 0 local res = '' scratch = leptonica.uti_getref_l_uint32() if (leptonica.pixGetPixel(pixs,x,y,scratch) == 0) then res = leptonica.uti_valref_l_uint32(scratch) else print("! Error on ",x,y) res = '' end return res end with a registered namespace (or, better, a suffix) I will be sure to avoid conflicts forever -- luigi

Good idea and it’s not a problem to reserve „lscarso“ for you but i ask myself which of these tables (luat-ini.lua) are available for users:

userdata = userdata or { } -- might be used thirddata = thirddata or { } -- might be used moduledata = moduledata or { } -- might be used documentdata = documentdata or { } -- might be used parametersets = parametersets or { } -- experimental

document = document or { }

If I may add to this question: I am using “job.variables” as kind of base for my private use area (not for modules, though) -- bad habit or valid alternative? Thanks, Philipp

Wolfgang

Thanks. Old habits die hard. Camel case is not bad at all --- it's a matter of points of view

best use lowercase systematically then users can use uppercase or a mix and not clash with built in names Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
