[NTG-context] How to load a lua file into a named lua instance
Hi all, I have a module with lots of lua code, and I'd like to move most of the lua code to a separate file, say t-module.lua. I have written all of the lua code using \modulecode and \startmodulecode ... \stopmodulecode. But, when I move the lua code to t-module.lua and load it with dofile, it seems to load in the global instance instead of the third party module instance. Is there any method to load an external lua file in a named instance? Thanks, Kevin ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

\registerctxluafile{t-module}{}

Re: [NTG-context] How to load a lua file into a named lua instance
Hi Hans,
I started reading at \registerctxluafile in luat-cod.mkiv, but it wasn't
quite what I was looking for. But, I then stumbled on \definenamedlua in
luat-ini.mkiv. There, I learned of the function 'protect' in luat-ini.lua.
So, adding the line
protect(moduledata)
at the top of t-module.lua and then loading this file with 'dofile
(global.kpse.find_file (t-module.lua, tex))' loads all my definitions
into the moduledata environment, so that I can directly address these
definitions in other TeX files within \modulecode{} or \startmodulecode ...
\stopmodulecode.
