Hi all,
This is a curiosity question about the function math.random coming
from Lua and used in mkiv:
if I typeset the following test file in mkiv, no matter when nor how
many times, the sequence of numbers which are output are the same…
%%% begin test-random.tex
\starttext
\dorecurse{25}{%
\ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(110,150))}
\qquad
\ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(math.random(110,120),math.random
(140,150)))}
\par}
\stoptext
%%% end test-random.tex
Indeed I guess that this is due to the random seed used by LuaTeX: is
it possible to force a new random seed upon each typesetting?
Thanks for your attention: OK
