Hi,

The following snippet

\startluacode
   -- \undefined why should a comment matter
   a = 10
\stopluacode

fails with

system          > error on line 4 in file bug.tex: Undefined control 
sequence ...
   -- \undefined
                              why should a comment matt  a = 10
\dodostartluacode ...and \directlua \zerocount {#1
                                                   }}
l.4 \stopluacode


Bug or limitation?

Aditya

The comment character in the luacode environment is “%”.

Limitation, but it should be doable to remedy in TeX.

Possible but is it worth the effort, when you start with “--” the percent should also behave like in Lua etc.

\starttext

\bgroup\obeylines
\gdef\texcomment#1
  {}
\egroup

\bgroup
\let\letterhyphen=-
\catcode`-=13
\unexpanded\def-{\futurelet\next\doscanhyphen}
\def\doscanhyphen
  {\ifx\next-
     \expandafter\texcomment
   \else
     \expandafter\letterhyphen
   \fi}
\obeylines
text
text
% foo
- foo 1
-- foo 2
\normalexpanded{- foo 1}
\normalexpanded{-- foo 2}
text
\egroup

\stoptext

The problem is that there is no solution to write something expandable (because \startluacode expands the content) which is required here.

feature ... the content gets expanded

texnically I could catch comments but it's not worth the effort (and 
slowdown)

Hello,

my observation:

---
\starttext
   AAA

   \startluacode

     a = 10

     context(a)

     -- a = 20

     context(a)

   \stopluacode
\stoptext
---

- works OK, 'AAA', '10' and '20' is printed.

If I modify the code:

---
\starttext
   AAA

   \startluacode

     a = 10

     context(a)

     -- a = 20

     context(a)

     % a = 30

     context(a)

   \stopluacode
\stoptext
---

- I get an error:

! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:11: unexpected symbol near '%'.

So it seems to me that '--' works fine to start a comment but '%' doesn't (?).

indeed.

but string.format("%0.3f %0.3f",a,b) does as does context("%0.3f 
%0.3f",a,b) so the % is just a normal token
