Hi Manuel, Everybody,
I am just getting into LuaLaTeX.
I needed to do some work with MetaPost.
While working I came across a kudo. That is once inside the mblibcode
environment one can not call Lua. THIS I consider a missing feature and
a VERY important one.
Some (simple) support for lua calls is on the (long term) agenda but not before
the current mplib extensions project is done (i.e. the decimal calculation
plugins).
Calling lua in itself is not so much an issue; after all one can just do a
\directlua inside a blob of mp passed to mplib (I do that all the time).
I was under the impression that this was all that the proposed patch does.
Luamplib
did not allow any (tex nor lua) escapes within the block, if I understand
correctly.
ok, so it's not a luatex/mplib issue but something for the maintainer of
that package as deciding what characters need what catcode is a package
issue (probably obeying \ { } is enough then)
