Hi, I am trying to pass variables/data between context and lua. Lua would be used for
calculations on data coming from context.
Unfortunately I can't figure out what to do. The code below doesn't work, but is there to
illustrate my idea.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Martin
\define\question{44}
\starttext
\startluacode
local points = \question * 92
-- do some calculations with points and return to to context
answer=42
\stopluacode
% lots of Text in between
The answer is \answer
\stoptext
