If you want to format your numbers to make the table easier to understand, you could use the Lua <code>string.format</code> function, e.g.

price = string.format("%08d", price)

which will left-pad your price with 0s.

Another easy thing is string manipulation (OK, the example is very silly, but you see what is meant):

function xml.functions.model(t)

model_name = xml.text(t, "./")

context.eTD()

end

But where Lua really shines is when it comes to constructions such as loops and conditionals. Here is an easy example for a conditional:

local price = tonumber(xml.text(t, "./"))

context.bTD()

context(price)

end

Have fun finding more ways to do interesting things with Lua and xml!
