I'm preparing a booklet of figures which are stored in a directory,
however their is no structure in their naming. I could go through them
all and rename them along the lines of Pict1.jpg, Pict2.jpg etc and
\dostepwiserecurse as in the example below
\setupexternalfigures [directory={/a/directory}]
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{10}{1}
{
\externalfigure[Pict\recurselevel.jpg]
}
\stoptext
However, I was wondering if was possible to iterate through the
directory using a wildcard and have something like
\externalfigure[*.jpg}
to make it generic, or would I have to use lua.
\startluacode
for _, name in ipairs(dir.glob("*.jpg")) do
context.externalfigure { name }
end
\stopluacode
