Hello all,
For several hours trying to find solutions of problem.
My minimal example (I mention it at the end of email) for clear reasons
show, that :
7 is not number.
7 is number.
7is not number.
7is not number.
In the first is argument '\value' negotiable to the value, in second it
is not possible (but for clear reasons too).
I would need to find from argument ie macro '\\value' in the LUA
function its numerical value.
Is there any function that would do that?
I need something as a function of context (...), which would, however,
its output is not located into ConTeXt, but its result get to back to a
Lua function or into variable.
It is something like the expansion of an existing ConTeXt macro to its
value.
Thanx Jaroslav
Here is my minimal example:
\startluacode
function test(arg)
if type(arg)=='number' then
context(arg.." is number.\\par ")
else
context(arg.." is not number.\\par")
end
if type(tonumber(arg))=='number' then
context(arg.." is number.\\par ")
else
context(arg.." is not number.\\par")
end
end
\stopluacode
\starttext
\def\value{7}
\ctxlua{test('\value');}
\blank[big]
\ctxlua{test('\\value');}
\stoptext
