The following code, from the wiki, results in a compilation error:

\starttext
> \ctxlua{context(string.format("\%.2f", math.pi))}
> \stoptext

The error is:

[\directlua]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\%'
> 1     \starttext
> 2
> 3 >>  \ctxlua{context(string.format("\%.2f", math.pi))}
> 4
> 5     \stoptext

I ended using \letterpercent command but it is not very convenient.

Any help is welcome,

Antoine C.
