Ah, ok, sorry, I've only come to Lua through Pandoc, so I'm often not aware of general Lua features. I will keep an eye open for the 'show' method.

See
Note that the latter seems to fail to mention that the full syntax for long strings and comments includes balanced `=` characters between the brackets so that you can include double brackets with or without a lower number of `=` chars in the string, e.g.
``````lua
local foo = [===[ [==[ [=[ [[ foo ]] ]=] ]==] ]===]
``````
is a single string delimited by `[===[` and `]===]`
Also escapes like `\n` don't work in long strings.

The `tostring` function is the default Lua way to convert an object "to
a string in a human-readable format". Still, I made a mental note to add
better docs once we switch from a Haskell to a Lua representation as
`tostring` output.
The Haskell/native output will probably become available via show
methods, as in `block:show()`. This already works for Block elements,
but not for Inlines.
