Hi Manuel, Everybody,
I am just getting into LuaLaTeX.
I needed to do some work with MetaPost.
While working I came across a kudo. That is once inside the mblibcode
environment one can not call Lua. THIS I consider a missing feature and
a VERY important one.
I figured it should not be not hard to add in this functionality, Which as it
seems
it is not. I look into the luamplib manual and notice that all that was needed
was to
patch luamplib.addline.
All that was needed was to create a syntax/command that was inside the MetaPost
code
noticed this command extract the function call and have it executed.
I have done this. It is just a couple of lines of code.
On the TeX of LuaLaTeX side, one can know write
\begin{mplibcode}
<some normal Metapost commands>
mplibcodedolua(<Lua function call>)
<more Metapost commands>
\end{mplibcode}
My questions are:
1) Is there any interest in such a function.
As I mentionedabove this is not a Lua function, just syntatic sugar
so that the provide Lua function gets called.
2) What should it be called. mblibcodedolua ?
I am asking this before I present my code here so that my code presents
a rounded picture.
regards
Keith.
