The real new features are part of what is to become \LUAMETAFUN, but for that we have a separate manual. +In 2022 Mikael Sundqvist and I spent a lot of time on improving math in both +\LUAMETATEX\ and \CONTEXT\ \LMTX, which is now the main version. Because we're both +\METAPOST\ fans we let ourselves being sidetracked to also explore new possibilities +in the library. Some of the macros that evolved from that made it into \METAFUN\ +which is why we also discuss some here. Be aware of the fact that we do some things +different in \LMTX\ than in \MKIV, for instance we moved to colors being specified +as strings (references to colors defined in \CONTEXT). There are also some new +features that are unique to the library in \LUAMETATEX, like \type {&&}, \type +{&&&}, \type {&&&&} and \type {nocycle}. THis means that not everything discussed +here works in \MKIV\ too. + \blank[big,samepage] \startlines |
