Subject: Random selection of a word in a set with lua and mkiv
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 18:52:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B4292E91-B789-4632-970F-D45CAFC3542D@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Assuming that we have a set of words or expressions, say
{Maths, Physics, Algebra, Analysis, Chemistry, Geometry, Wave equation, Schrödinger equation}
is it possible to write a lua function, named for instance
randomselectword
which returns one of the words or expressions selected at random in the above set?
Indeed this is intended to be used in a TeX file processed with mkiv.
Thanks in advance for any idea and help.
Best regards: OK
