Subject: table assignment in the context lua code
Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 15:41:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1e6k9flusrvsj$.dlg@nililand.de> (raw)
font-dum.lua contains the following code snippet:
local reencodings = { }
fonts.enc.reencodings = reencodings
local function specialreencode(tfmdata,value)
local encoding = value and reencodings[value]
....
end
1. Why is the assignment
fonts.enc.reencodings = reencodings
and not the other way round?
Similar definitions in the same file use more "logical" looking
assignments like e.g. "local setups = fonts.protrusions.setups"
2. How does it work? Why is the local table variable "reencodings"
in the function specialreencode able to retrieve values stored later
in fonts.enc.reencodings?
