There is already an example implementation of comments reading. http://gitorious.org/context/context/blobs/master/scripts/context/lua/mtx-modules.lua cd tex/context/base mtxrun --script modules --process page-txt.mkiv see the resulting page-txt-mkiv.ted and page-txt-mkiv.pdf files. > Possibly the internal structure could also be read in from structured > comments in the actual source files as opposed to the current external > xml files (not a bad idea as it increased the chance of everything staying > up-to-date).

What do you mean by saying "to be lua or compressed ascii code"? I can't imagine how it may look like, as I am new to the lua. Could you, please, give an example? I will try to code a rough draft, but at first it needs to be decided what syntax we will use for these comments.
