Huh? Where do you see such a "details=" string?

Still not understandable by me :)

I would be interest in it but, unfortunately:

- I'm engaged in other time-consuming LaTeX projects in the next few
  months,
- I'm not sure to have the required skills, especially in Lua I don't
  know at all.

I'm sorry, maybe later...
