Thanks for the quick answers. Both suggestions work for me. @Massi Thanks for the pointer into the cld-mkiv.pdf
@Wolfgang: I have to admit that I don't completely comprehend your solution, though it works. Searching around for the commands you use, I came across an older posting you answered too: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064326.html That helps too. However I can find little documentation on the \setvariable/s commands. I'll play around with the solution to understand it better. > \defineexpandable\question{44} > A solution which uses only existing commands in the document. > > \startsetups [martin] > \startlua > local points = tonumber(\getvariable{martin}{question}) or 0 ; > points = points * 92 ; > local answer = 42 ; > context.setvariable("martin","points",points) ; > context.setvariable("martin","answer",answer) ; > \stoplua > \stopsetups > > \setvariable{martin}{set}{\directsetup{martin}} > > \starttext > > \setvariables [martin] [question=44] > > Points: \getvariable{martin}{points} > > The answer is \getvariable{martin}{answer}. > > \stoptext > > Wolfgang > ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
