Joas,
Perhaps there some confusion here about how ConTeXt is used to create a
document, and what role Lua plays in it. ConTeXt is a macro-based
language that provides a level of abstraction over TeX, which is also a
macro language. Documents can be completely specified with the use of
ConTeXt. Lua is a traditional programming language that is used by some
versions of ConTeXt to optimize and extend some of the internal
capabilities of ConTeXt and TeX. There are very few situations, if any,
in which a document writer /must/ resort to using Lua; ConTeXt almost
always suffices.
Only the first example you found in the ConTeXt wiki uses Lua, and that
example is not really useful for your problem. The other examples on
that page are coded in the ConTeXt macro language.
You might also look at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Handling_Arguments and
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments for more
examples, and on the mailing list. I would also recommend looking in the
mailing list for discussions of the \getrawparameters and \getbufferdata
and related commands (in particular
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg78808.html).
Here is some code I use to format verse. It provides default values for
the language, margin inset and continuation line indents that can be
overridden when needed:
\starttexdefinition unexpanded startPoem
\begingroup
\dosingleempty\dostartPoem
\stoptexdefinition
\starttexdefinition dostartPoem [#SETUPS]
\getrawparameters[Poem][inset=2em,indent=0em,before=,font=,
language=en,#SETUPS]
\grabbufferdata[Poem][startPoem][stopPoem]
\stoptexdefinition
\starttexdefinition stopPoem
\obeylines
\language[\Poemlanguage]
\Poembefore
\Poemfont
\setupnarrower[left={\dimexpr\Poemindent+\Poeminset\relax},
right=\Poeminset,
before=]
\startnarrower[left,right]
\startparagraph
\setupindenting[-\Poemindent,yes]
\inlinebuffer[Poem]
\stopparagraph
\stopnarrower
\endgroup
\blank[halfline]
\stoptexdefinition
This type of code can easily be used to deal with the names, numbers,
and abbreviations you describe in your requirements.

I have found this wiki:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_KeyVal_arguments
But since I do not know Lua, I would appreciate that someone gets me
started with my example.
Many thanks,
Yours sincerely.

So how would you like to use lua? Is the data stored in lua?

Dear everyone,
I am currently typesetting the old (published in 1707) French Bible of
David Martin using
ConTeXt MkIV. The source code looks like this:
\startproduct martin1707
\startproject bibles % Page layout, fonts, language, etc.
\startbiblebook[number={1}, name={Genéſe}, abbreviation={Gen.},
title={Le premier livre de Moyſe dit la Genéſe}]
\startbiblechapter[number={1}]
\startbibleverse[number={1}]
Au commencement Dieu créa les cieux & la terre.
\stopbibleverse
\stopbiblechapter
\stopbiblebook
\startbiblebook[number={45}, name={Romains}, abbreviation={Rom.},
title={Epiſtre de ſaint Paul apoſtre aux romains}]
\startbiblechapter[number={12}]
\startbibleverse[number={1}]
Je vous exhorte donc, \bibleaddition{mes} fréres, par les
compaſſions de Dieu, que vous préſentiez vos corps en
ſacrifice
vivant, ſaint, agréable à Dieu, \bibleaddition{qui eſt}
vôtre
raiſonnable ſervice.
\stopbibleverse
\startbibleverse[number={2}]
Et ne vous conformez point à ce préſent ſiecle, mais ſoyez
transformez par le renouvellement de vôtre entendement,
afin que
vous éprouviez quelle eſt la volonté de Dieu, bonne, &
agréable,
& parfaite.
\stopbibleverse
\stopbiblechapter
\stopbiblebook
\stopproduct
As you may know, all the Bibles are divided into books, and each book into
chapters, and
each chapter into verses. The purpose of \startbiblebook,
\startbiblechapter, and \startbibleverse
is to control the formatting thereof respectively (as \startsection,
\startsubsection, etc., control
the formatting of sections, subsections, etc.)
Now, as you see. these commands are user-defined commands with key-value
options. My
goal is to define the way they do the formatting with Lua. But I do not
know how to do. I
know a bit about programming, so learning Lua is not a problem.
Thanking you in advance,
All the best,
Yours faithfully.
