Hello all,
Is it possible to create a new dimension ConTeXt register directly in
Lua, or I have to first create the ConTeXt dimensional register and then
to subsequently assign it a value?
Here is example:
\starttext
\newdimen\mydimension
\directlua{tex.setdimen("mydimension", 123)}
\stoptext
works fine, but all like:
\starttext
\directlua{tex.print([[\newdimen\myotherdimension]])}
\directlua{tex.setdimen("myotherdimension", 123)}
\directlua{tex.newdimen("myotherdimension")}
etc...
\stoptext
fails.
In addition, I am interested in whether directly in Lua to create a new
counter as in the previous.
\starttext
\newcount\mycount
\directlua{
tex.setcount("mycount",125)
}
again works, but anything like:
\starttext
\directlua{tex.print([[\newcount\myothercount]])}
\directlua{tex.newcount("myothercount")}
etc...
\stoptext
again fails...
Is there any source or examples to study anything about it?
Thanx Jaroslav
