Hello,
What is the best way to pass verbatim text to lua for processing? I
would like to write a lua parser for non-TeX text with a custom syntax
(could be something like Markdown for instance). The interface would
be
\startMyFormat
% custom syntax %
\stopMyFormat
\processMyFormatfile[external file.custom] % alternative
The text between \startMyFormat and \stopMyFormat or the text read
from the external file should be passed as one utf8-encoded string to
a lua function. Any ideas on how to write these macros?
On a side note, does anyone know of a quick way to strip diacritical
marks from utf8-encoded strings in lua (i.e., transform them to pure
ascii)?
Thanks,
Vianney

Thanks Wolfgang, that module does indeed seem very interesting and do
something related to my problem. I'll dig into it.
