About the documented project

Additional Lua functions taken from the l-* and util-* files of ConTeXt.

The aim of this package is to provide an extended standard library, to be used by various LuaTeX packages. The code is specific to LuaTeX and depends on LuaTeX functions and modules not available in regular lua. The code is derived from ConTeXt librarie ¹
