Subject: Evaluating a Lua expression at the end
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2015 17:23:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGO+Kuzh_9ew6DxvF3HZWGff3qQWNwhgC-72etqDyrqq7cAq=Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi.

I am trying to set up a system where I can use Lua to find a total
that I can display at the end. For example, if I set a question paper,
after each question, I do a \directlua{total = total + 4}, assuming
this question has 4 points. At the top of my document, I now want to
say "Total points:" and display the value of total.

Now, naturally, using \directlua gives me 0, since total is 0 at the
beginning. But \latelua didn't seem to be what I am looking for. Could
someone please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Kumar
