Subject: How to store command line arguments in ConTeXt LUA Documents?
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2016 13:43:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160313124320.GA31152@nereid.neptune> (raw)
Hi all,
Is it possible to store context command line arguments into lua
variables?
I found http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getdocumentargument but it
only prints the argument. I can not store it for further processing.
What I would like to do is something like this:
-- start of the example
something = context.getcommandlineargument("ARG1") -- doesn't exist
-- make some tests here to check if 'something' has the right syntax
context.startdocument{title = something}
context.input("knuth")
context.stopdocument()
-- end of the example
Then, one has just to launch:
$ context file.cld --ARG1="My first title"
Thanks in advance.
