Dear Emmanuel,
Thank you for your reply: indeed I understand your approach, which is quite
efficient. I am not at all good in coding, so I naively thought there would be
a way for your setup to retrieve the information it needs from what the user is
doing. Maybe once things are settled, Hans and Wolfgang will have a look in the
Japanese part of ConTeXt so that the user can avoid to enter the setup included
in the \directlua part.
Again thank you for what you are sharing.
Best regards: Otared
