Dear ConTeXt folks,
could you please share your experiences with or point me to a resource
dealing with the following issue.
I need to evaluate some physics experiments where I have some values
which got measured. I thought I could use ConTeXt with LuaTeX to do all
the calculations instead of the calculator and enter the results by hand
or a spreadsheet program.
Would I enter the values (not many) at the top of the TeX document and
refer to them in the other places? Is an extra file a better approach?
Thanks,
Paul

Do you have a example what do you want to achieve?

I would put them in a lua table and access them when needed (you can
load that table from an external file)

In your place, I'll go to MS Excel or Openoffice Calc :)
