Re: [NTG-context] Problem Passing \starttabulate into Lua
Thank you Wolfgang! That's certainly a step in the right direction. But what I (and others?) really need is a way of passing any chunk of ConTeXt code into Lua. Maybe Nodes and attributes chapter in mk.pdf can help you .

Everything you pass to Lua is expanded and this did not work
with macros that contain \dosingleempty (or \dodoubleempty etc.).
\def\command
{\dosingleempty\docommand}
\def\docommand[#1]{#1}
\def\testmacro#1%
{\ctxlua{d='\luaescapestring{#1}'}}
\starttext
\testmacro{\docommand[text]} % works
\testmacro{\command[text]} % fails

[NTG-context] Problem Passing \starttabulate into Lua

I've tried all sorts of variations on the above example including using
\ctxlua, \startlua, \startluacode, etc. I tried using '[[...]]' and
'[===[...]===]' instead of \luaescapestring. I tried \def with and
without \long. I tried other \start* ... \stop* commands (different
errors, but still broken). Plus many more variations.
At this point I'm convinced that there's something fundamental that I'm
not understanding. What is the general method for taking any chunk of
ConTeXt code and passing it into Lua so that it can be written back out
with tex.print()?

Version snapshot-0.31.2-2008121200, build 1659
(The older versions of ConTeXt and LuaTeX are necessary because of the
problem the latest Windows versions are having. See the Serious Bug?
thread.)
Thank you,
