[NTG-context] CrossWords Puzzles with context

[Jorge Manuel]

After some attempts to build crosswords puzzles with context, I found this 
approach:

1) Create the puzzle with  genxword
https://github.com/riverrun/genxword  

2) Edit the output table and change all {}  to  *

3) Save the table in a file (p.e. crosswords.txt) 

3) In context use this script (Revised By Wolfgang Schuster)

\startluacode
context.startmidaligned()
context.bTABLE( { rulethickness = ".25pt", width = ".8cm", height = 
".8cm", align = "{lohi, middle}" } )
for line in io.lines("crosswords.txt") do
for w in (line .. "|"):gmatch("([^|]*)|") do 
-- print (w)
if w == ' ' then
context.bTR()
elseif w == '.' then
context.eTR()
else
if w == '* ' then 
context.bTD( { frame = "off" } )
context.eTD()
else 
ww = string.match (w, "%d+")
print (ww)
if ww then
context.bTD( { foregroundstyle = "\\bfxx" } )
context("%s",ww)
context.eTD()
else
context.bTD()
 -- context("%s",w)
context.eTD()
end
end
end
end
end
context.eTABLE()
context.stopmidaligned()
\stopluacode
