Dear all,
1. I'd like to make a horizontal space using \hspace[3em] inside luacode.
But context.hspace({3em}), context.hspace({"3em"}),
context.hspace("3em") don't work.
And print(" ") doesn't work either.
How to make some horizontal space in luacode?
\hspace does not accept dimensions. The syntax for hspace is
\definehspace[whatever][3em]
\hspace[whatever].
So, you need:
\definehspace[skip][3em]
\starttext
\startluacode
context("Some text")
context.hspace{"skip"}
context("More text")
\stopluacode
\stoptext
Indeed this is the best way. At some point I'll wrap primitives (maybe
in another namespace). If you really want to use context.hskip, you can
say context.hskip(false,"10pt plus 5pt") etc as a first false argument
will signal a drop of {}.
