Hello all,
With the v0.85 release, pdfTeX primitives such as \pdfdecimaldigits are
removed with TeX access documented using for example
\pdfvariable decimaldigits
Currently, the documentation still lists the Lua access routes as e.g.
tex.pdfdecimaldigits. Is this likely to change? I'm trying to set up
ah, yes, i'll remove these
Am I right in understanding that they were removed from the v0.85
binaries (this seems to be the case).
they were hardcoded entries in the tex table; in fact, one can just
assign something to that table as it's a normal table, so
tex.foo = 123
is quite valid. Some variables could be read but not set (setting just
added an antry in the table thereby also obscuring the variable at the
tex end)
explicit setters/getters behave better (and all backend stuff is (to be)
in the pdf table/namespace anyway
Presumably this route will be available in v0.90? It seems that there is
there will probably be a 0.87 in between
a 'gap' where there is no Lua access to these concepts: is that correct?
indeed (not that big a deal as i suppose in most cases they are set at
the tex end)
