Without having done my Lua programming yet, am I correct in assuming that
if someone calls this \makePreamble as follows

The normal way to fix this is to use [[#1]] as quotes. [=[..]=] also works
(this allows [[ ... ]] to be part of string), as does [==[..]==] and so on.
Context defines \!bs .. \!es (begin string and end string) which I think maps
to [===[ ... ]===]
Aditya,
thanks very much. I guess I need to either
- get up to speed on the Lua-ConTeXt interface, or
- stop asking questions that provoke such answers. :-)
- hang my plain-hat on the wall
- stay curious
Hans
