class LateLuaWhatsitNode

• supers: WhatsitNode

The difference between data and string is that on assignment, the data field is converted to a token list, cf. use as latelua. The string version is treated as a literal string.

When a function is used, it gets called with as first argument the node that triggers the call.

Example:

assert.node_type("whatsit", "late_lua", {
  id = "whatsit (8)",
  subtype = "late_lua (8)",
  fields = {
    "prev (-1)",
    "next (0)",
    "id (1)",
    "subtype (2)",
    "attr (3)",
    "reg (4)",
    "data (5)",
    "name (6)",
    "string (7)",
  },
})
