Re: [NTG-context] running lua in metafun and in ConTeXt
Dear Hans, Thank you for your new code. Frankly speaking, it is hard to follow your code right now because of my little knowledge about these matter. I need some time to understand your code fully, especially lmtx. I’ll do more exercises using your code. Thank you for your concern.
