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