# sciffi
A LuaTeX package that provides the foundation for building custom bridges
between LuaTeX and external languages with their ecosystems, enabling advanced
cross-language workflows
## Installation
**CTAN** Coming soon!
**Manual Installation:**
1. Navigate to the root directory in your terminal and run `l3build install`
## Usage
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For saving code snippets sciffi uses `os.tmpname()`, which creates global
> path. By default MikTeX doesn't allow to write there, so in order to use
> sciffi environment set `AllowUnsafeOutputFiles` to true
> ```bash
> initexmf --set-config-value=[Core]AllowUnsafeOutputFiles=t
> ```
**Example: Python**
```latex
\begin{sciffi}{python}
print("Hello from Python")
\end{sciffi}
```
