Many thanks for your reply, Aditya.
Your approach is really interesting, but I don’t know how to mix it with
the first run mode.
\startmode[*first]
\startluacode
io.write("\n\n Document URL? ")
document.url_address = io.read()
\stopluacode
\definedataset[document_data]
\setdataset[document_data]
[url=\cldcontext{document.url_address}]
\stopmode
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
\datasetvariable{document_data}{1}{url}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
How could I make this sample or a similar approach work?
What I need it to avoid entering the same address more than once.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
