Remember that if you compile the script, you need to enable debug output, which is disabled by default when compiling. Otherwise, when you execute the compiled MCVE, you'll only get the black display briefly and nothing else.

Hello.

I just tried running the MCVE both as a script and compiled for Debian x64 and in both cases I got the same debugprint: 2134734247

Great! Thanks Andreas for the continued development and improvements.

@MarisaG1967 Syntax highlighting from Hollywood works fine here in Vim. Using Debian Trixie (last week I updated from Bookworm); I don't remember having to enable to make it work.

@Bugala it is also more or less what is explained in the CopyTable() of Hollywood's help: This function can be used to make an independent copy of the specified source table. As you have probably noticed, when assigning a table to a new variable using the equal (=) operator, only a reference to the ...

From lua's documentation ( https://www.lua.org/pil/2.5.html ): A table is always anonymous. There is no fixed relationship between a variable that holds a table and the table itself: a = {} a["x"] = 10 b = a -- `b' refers to the same table as `a' print(b["x"]) --> 10 b["x&qu...
