While Lua allows the true and false boolean values, wikicode templates can only express boolean values through strings such as "yes", "no", etc. This module processes these kinds of strings and turns them into boolean input for Lua to process. It also returns nil values as nil, to allow for distinctions between nil and false. The module also ...
Note: Lua patterns are not regular expressions in the traditional POSIX sense, and they are not even a subset of regular expressions. But they share many constructs with regular expressions (more below). Lua patterns are used to define, find and handle a pattern in a string. It can do the common search and replace action in a text, but it has ...
Marshalling data between C and Lua functions is also done using the stack. To call a Lua function, arguments are pushed onto the stack, and then the lua_call is used to call the actual function. When writing a C function to be directly called from Lua, the arguments are read from the stack. Here is an example of calling a Lua function from C:
Lua is dynamically typed. There's no static typing at all. From a syntactic point of view, think BASIC (or even COMAL) without line numbers and colons rather than C/C++/Java, Lisp/Scheme, or Forth. There's no begin, but most control structures have an end; for needs a do and if needs a then. {...} denote a table (expression), not a block of code.
