LuaLaTex module for direct markdown inclusion in LaTeX documents

[mmahnic]

I created a module with which it is possible to include markdown code directly into LaTeX documents. Currently it is based on peg-multimarkdown. I tried to use lunamark instead, since I'm also interested in ConTeXt output. Unfortunately lpeg.B doesn't exist in LuaTeX since it includes lpeg 0.9.

Is there a way to simulate lpeg.B in pure lua?
If not, how would one modify the parser so that it wouldn't use lpeg.B?

The module is here:

Thanks,
Marko

Probably not.

B is only used in some of the smartquote parsers. An earlier version of
lunamark (ca. 2009) did without B, so you could look there. It's
uglier, but possible.

This should no longer be an issue.
