Re: Glossary Filter for MD2Tex

Yes, but it is limited to this utf8 library. For instance, if perform a regexp search like `string.match('ἀγαθός', '[γδ]')`, it try to match one of the four bytes inside the square brackets against the string 'ἀγαθός', so it will return the first byte of γ, not γ. To circumvent this limitation, you would be forced to test γ and δ separately. Nevertheless, if you always perform comparisons between whole strings as you currently do in your script, this should not be a problem.

As for your concern with dependancies, you most probably would have to rely on a JSON library such as lunajson. However, if your JSON files are not supposed to change, you could also convert them to a Lua file using a JSON library and a serialization library, so as to be able to import the resulting Lua data structure directly in your filter.
