Hello,
first - thanks for the perfectly synoptical
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Programming_in_LuaTeX#Namespaces !
My question (and the answer sould appear on wiki, too):
Is any of the namespaces (userdata, thirddata, moduledata, documentdata,
parametersets) automatically serialized between Ctx first(-second(-third)) runs?
no, if only because they are not meant to store runtime data
I'm asking because user may call some (longer) code and put the result into a namespace (be it e.g.
"userdata"). And if that namespace was automatically serialized for next run(s), that
code could be called conditionally - typically just in first run (= mode "*first"
enabled) - as in next runs results of the additional code would be available in a namespace
(instead of repetitive call of that (longer) code).
Of course, user can perform such evaluation, storage and conditional
extra-code-call individually, but maybe there is some support for similar
situations in Ctx.
there is a twopassdata mechanism for storing stuff but other than that
you can just write to a file and then check that (depending on what run
you have)
