From my reading of core-dat.lua I gather that there is not really a way to dump any Lua table (array or hash or mixed) via datasets. Except directly writing to “tobesaved”. ······································································· \starttext \startluacode local n, t, d = job.datasets.setdata{ name = "not enough!!!11!1! grr!", delay = interfaces.variables.no, data = "a=b,c=d,1=foo,2=bar,nested={second={third=whatever}}", } job.datasets.tobesaved.works_for_me = { this = { does = { "work", "for", nested = { "tables", "!", {{}} } } } } table.print(job.datasets.getdata("works_for_me", "this"), "this") \stopluacode \stoptext ······································································· I hesitate to wikify the latter, though.
