According to the official TW page on <a href="http://tug.org" target="_blank">tug.org</a>, version the 0.2.x branch is the<br>
stable branch and doesn't offer those features, which are listed in the "future"<br>
section. (And IIRC, Jonathan may prefer to provide scripting in QtScript (of<br>
whatever Qt calls their ECMAscript variant) rather than in Lua, for practical<br>
reasons, so I don't think it's a good idea to provide Lua scripting to users if<br>
it is to disappear in the next version...)<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>I believe MikTeX ships a build based on the texworks svn development sources, which are considered unstable, experimental code where features may be added, revised, or even possibly removed. There has been quite a bit of work on scripting support here, including several iterations on the scripting APIs; there will eventually be a new "stable" release that will include this functionality as well as other new/updated features, but it may not exactly match the experimental code MikTeX has chosen to ship.<br>
<br>Personally, I think it was premature for the MikTeX people to ship the unstable development code as a standard part of their distro. But they've never asked my view about it.<br><br>JK<br><br></div></div>
