[NTG-context] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
An example which was working with ConText (version beginning
2012) - and now I get an error:
\define\imagepath {/home/janis/images}
\starttext
\externalfigure[\imagepath/test.jpg]
\stoptext
LuaTeX error [string \directlua ]:1: invalid escape
sequence near '\i'
Without my parameter \imagepath there ist no problem.
And if I want to see the echo of the parameter with
\imagepath
I get /home/janis/images which I expect.
I need parameters very often. How can I use my parameter
\imagepath in \externafigure?
Regards
Janis

Re: [NTG-context] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
The following two commands seem to do the same: \defineexpandable\... \def\... And this two also do the same: \define\... \unexpanded\def\... \def is a low-level-command and shouldn't be used. Right?

Re: [NTG-context] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
In last year Context this worked:
\define\imagepath {/home/janis/images}
\externalfigure[\imagepath/test.jpg]
Now this change is necesarry:
\defineexpandble\imagepath {/home/janis/images}
Where do the change come from: Context, Tex or Luatex? Is
there a genereal change which we have to take care off?
Last year I made a book with a lot of programming in Context
and I would like to use the code for the next book.
Regards
Janis

at some point we decided to make \define generate an unexpandable
command (which is what one wants in most cases)
so, it's just the \define command (and in your case you could as well
use \def but it's then best to use \ImagePath as one never knows if
\imagepath isn't some internal command
(of course you can also use \setupexternfigures)

Re: [NTG-context] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
btw, the \i that lua reports is a side effect of lua being more strict in escaping characters, so that might be a compatibility issue, although can argue that the old lua behaviour was a buglet Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
