Recently, I've found the need to implement this again as a lua module.

From what I could tell, categorytree uses a ajax, so lua would have to wait until it is done before retrieving the content. In this specific case even preprocess can't retrieve the results of the categorytree extension. It simply returns the "uniq" strip marker as a placeholder until it gets the results.

Does anyone know of any other parser function that works similarly, but whose contents can be accessed by lua?
