Hello,
What is the best way to pass verbatim text to lua for processing? I
would like to write a lua parser for non-TeX text with a custom syntax
(could be something like Markdown for instance). The interface would
be
\startMyFormat
% custom syntax %
\stopMyFormat
\processMyFormatfile[external file.custom] % alternative
The text between \startMyFormat and \stopMyFormat or the text read
from the external file should be passed as one utf8-encoded string to
a lua function. Any ideas on how to write these macros?
On a side note, does anyone know of a quick way to strip diacritical
marks from utf8-encoded strings in lua (i.e., transform them to pure
ascii)?
Thanks,
Vianney
