striplong


It would be nice if striplong worked, but the example fails when string.striplong is used in place of string.strip. The log says:

! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: attempt to call field 'striplong' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
    [string "\directlua "]:1: in main chunk.
Is the format of the call different than shown in the wiki, or is a different mechanism required to quote a potentially long string?

The name of the function is “strings.striplong”.

This should be “utilities.strings.striplong” but it has no effect because when take a look
at the saved string in Lua you can see that blank lines are removed from the text.

Indeed. This does build without error, but the utilities.strings.striplong result is worse than the string.strip result, with some additional whitespace at the end of the test string from the earlier example.

So, is this a confirmed bug?
