And can I check a variable (argument) in Lua in a similar way?

\starttext

Print mode: \doifmodeelse{print}{yes}{no}

\startluacode
	if tex.modes['print'] then
		context("Print mode is enabled")
	else
		context("Print mode is disabled")
	end

	-- Something like this: >>

	if tex.arguments['size'] == "small" then
	-- Or: 'tex.variables["size"] == "small"'
	-- Or: 'document.arguments["size"] == "small"'

		context("Small size")
	end

	--
\stopluacode

\doifenvelse{size}
   {\processaction
      [\env{size}]
      [  small=>Small size,
        medium=>Medium size,
           big=>Big size,
       unknown=>Other size: \env{size}]}
   {No value “size”}
\stoptext

If the passed argument has a NUMBER value, should it be checked against a number value or a string - so what of the following should be right:

context --arguments="size=1" test.tex

if tex.arguments['size'] == "1" then ...

Or:

if tex.arguments['size'] == 1 then ...

Best regards,

Lukas
