- There is no table of arguments or variables being passed by
--arguments="ARG=arg" or by --variable="VAR=var" from the command line.
indeed (--arguments is an old mechanism and mkii compatible)
- All arguments passed to the command line are accessible by
document.arguments. Unfortunately, when repeating an arg, only the last
is accessible, e.g.
context.exe t.mkiv --arguments="ARG1=arg1" --arguments="ARG2=arg2"
indeed, so one can easily overload
You're right, good feature.
will cause that only (string) "ARG2=arg2" will be in
document.arguments.arguments.
as mentioned by someone already, use "a=1,b=2,c=3"
- - That means also that not splitting to key-value pair is not
performed by default (document.arguments.arguments is still "ARG2=arg2",
no splitting to document.arguments.arguments.ARG2 to be "arg2" is not
done).
indeed, although they are split and assigned at the tex end
So, an earlier splitting may be performed by something like
for a in document.arguments:gmatch("([^,]+)") do
local k, v = a:match("(.*)=(.*)")
document.arguments[k] = v
end
Best regards,
Lukas
- Not only predefined options/switches, but all args passed by command
line are accessible by document.arguments. I.e. it's possible to call
context.exe t.mkiv --myvar=MYVAR
right, but make sure to use a prefix so that there is no confusion
(myvarone myvartwo etc)
and later it's possible to get "MYVAR" from document.arguments.myvar.
Let's check the call:
context.exe t.mkiv --arguments=AAA=aaa --mode=MMM --arguments=BBB=bbb
--myvar=MYVAR
