Hello Kumar,

could you provide a (non-working) minimal example?

I tried this:

----
local C = context

local n = 0

C.starttext()

  C("A")
  n = n + 1
  C("B")
  n = n + 1
  C("C")
  n = n + 1

print("***", n)

C.stoptext()

print(">>>", n)
----

and I got "3" (twice) - what I expected:

"

"

... And similar result for "Count.mkiv".

Hi.

I am trying to set up a system where I can use Lua to find a total
that I can display at the end. For example, if I set a question paper,
after each question, I do a \directlua{total = total + 4}, assuming
this question has 4 points. At the top of my document, I now want to
say "Total points:" and display the value of total.

Now, naturally, using \directlua gives me 0, since total is 0 at the
beginning. But \latelua didn't seem to be what I am looking for. Could

Where could I learn more about \latelua (I'm hearing first time now about that 
command)...

Best regards,

Lukas


someone please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Kumar
