Hello Hans and Otared,
thank you for your answers.
Context can run Lua. The output then ends up somewhere in the console
output between the other specifications.
LuaLaTeX can execute Lua. The output is then the only one in the
console. Console output was not what I wanted.
However, I was naive enough to hope that the output would be in TeXShop,
but that only works with pdf I think.
So I am still a little helpless.
Well, context
context foo.lua
is asking for tex run, not a lua run; what do you expect from
foo.lua :
context.starttext()
context("Hi there")
context.stoptext()
other than a tex document showing that text. How is luatex to know if
you want to typeset or just run tex? So don't take latex as reference.
You don't want to start the whole tex machinery to run a lua file,
running in luaonly mode is what one needs then.
When you have foo.lua :
print("Hi there")
and want it in the console you run:
mtxun --script
and here i get this in the console when i hit the "compile" key
>mtxrun --script "oeps.lua"
Hi There
So you need to figure out in texshop how to relate a run command "mtxrun
--script" to a file with suffix ".lua".
This approach hasn't changes in the about 20 years that we have luatex.
You can ask Dick to add an option like that (specify runner for a lua
file) it it's not already there.
Hans
ps. Of course we can add support for a first line parsing when context
sees a .lua file
-- mtxrun --script %filename%
or just
-- runner=mtxrun
for editors that lack support for suffix specific runners, but let's
first see what texshop can do already.
