We are working on documenting using lua to script our
application. Currently we don't plan on documenting lua itself - the online
documentation likely do a much better job at that. We would like to include the
lua short reference (http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaShortReference)
in our documention but would like to modify it to remove modules that we aren't
including and convert it to HTML. Reading the lua license I think this is
allowed - am I correct? How important do you think it is to conform to pure
'lua-isms' in the script API? I'm currently playing some tricks to implement object
'fields' using __index and __newindex so the user can use Control.Value =
5 instead of Control:SetValue(5). I originally did this since we were coming
from a C background and that syntax was more familiar but I'm wondering if
having non-standard syntax is a good idea. Finally, I was wondering if there are any examples of how
people document their embedded lua environment. I know Lightroom uses lua but
I'm pretty sure that's for internal use only. Are there any other applications
that have publically available embedded lua environment? John
