I confess, I hadn't considered anything quite so bold as reading the whole of the text into Lua and then processing it back out. I suppose I was expecting one of the true TeXperts to offer suggestions involving \appendtoks ... \to \everypar.
I also realized that I forgot to mention that I want to be able to do this all while using the ConTeXt project/product/component support. Any other suggestions on how I could process unmarked paragraphs in Lua? Kevin On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 3:48 PM, Aditya Mahajan <adit...@umich.edu> wrote: > On Thu, 14 Oct 2010, Kevin D.
