Dear Lucas,



Shouldn't it be (untested):

context("\\def\\lang{English}")



It is working.


context([[\def\lang{English}]])

It is not working. It prints "def lang English".

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

OK.

I meant just the way how strings in Lua are entered

- if inside quotation marks, escaping is required, thus "\\" yields to
backslash,
- if inside [[ ... ]], single \ gives backslash, and of course \\ gives
TWO backslashes.

I guessed that your original

[[\\def\\lang{English}]]

could have caused the problem, so I corrected it to

[[\def\lang{English}]]

[[ ]] vs " " is a lua thing ... but when you pass things from within tex, expansions happens the same in both; you can try

context("\detokenize{...}")
