SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS INTERACTIVE MODE AUTHORSSYNOPSIS
pandoc−lua [options] [script [args]]
DESCRIPTION
pandoc−lua is a standalone Lua interpreter with behavior similar to that of the standard lua executable, but exposing all of pandoc’s Lua libraries. All pandoc.* packages, as well as the packages re and lpeg, are available via global variables. Furthermore, the globals PANDOC_VERSION, PANDOC_STATE, and PANDOC_API_VERSION are set at startup.
If no script argument is given, then the script is assumed to be passed in via stdin. When called without arguments, pandoc−lua behaves as pandoc−lua −v −i when the standard input (stdin) is a terminal, and as pandoc−lua − otherwise. On Windows the program will always behave as if it was connected to a terminal.
When called without the option −E, the interpreter checks for an environment variable LUA_INIT before running any argument. If the variable content has the format @filename, then pandoc−lua executes the file. Otherwise, pandoc−lua executes the string itself.
OPTIONS
−e stat
Execute statement stat.
|
−l mod |
If mod has the pattern g=m, then require library m into global g; otherwise require library mod into global mod. | ||
|
−v |
Show version information. | ||
|
−i |
Enter interactive mode after running script. | ||
|
−E |
Ignore environment variables. This is not fully implemented yet and only ignores the LUA_INIT variable. Other variables like LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH are not ignored. | ||
|
−W |
Turn warnings on. |
INTERACTIVE MODE
In interactive mode, the Lua interpreter repeatedly prompts and waits for a line. After reading a line, Lua first tries to interpret the line as an expression. If it succeeds, it prints its value. Otherwise, it interprets the line as a statement. If you write an incomplete statement, the interpreter waits for its completion by issuing a different prompt.
Exit the interactive mode by pressing Ctrl−D or Ctrl−C, or by typing os.exit(). The Isocline library is used for line editing. Press F1 to get a list of available keybindings; the ctrl key is abbreviated as ^ in that list.
