/**
 * @fileoverview
 * Registers a language handler for Lua.
 *
 *
 * To use, include prettify.js and this file in your HTML page.
 * Then put your code in an HTML tag like
 *      <pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">(my Lua code)</pre>
 *
 *
 * I used http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.1
 * Because of the long-bracket concept used in strings and comments, Lua does
 * not have a regular lexical grammar, but luckily it fits within the space
 * of irregular grammars supported by javascript regular expressions.
