Josef Friedrich submitted the
lparse
package.
Version: 0.1.0 2023-01-29
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A Lua module for parsing key-value options
Announcement text:
The name lparse is derived from xparse. The x has been replaced by l because this package only works with LuaTeX. l stands for Lua. Just as with xparse, it is possible to use a special syntax consisting of single letters to express the arguments of a macro. However, lparse is able to read arguments regardless of the macro systemd used - whether LaTeX or ConTeXt or even plain TeX. Of course, LuaTeX must always be used as the engine.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/lparse The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/lparse/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
