Thanks. I had not looked at them and some of the things about handling at the ConTeXt end are more clear now. But I think that I did not explain my question correctly.

What I do not understand how are abbreviations etc. handled by xslt for conversion into html. For example, how do I write an xsl style sheet that converts this xml input

<p> I study <abbrev value="EECS"> which stands for </p>

into html as

<p> I study EECS which stands for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science </p>

I know that this is not the right list to ask this sort of questions, but I am hoping that there are xml users here and they will be able to point me to the right direction.

I haven't followed the thread, but attached an idea of doing what you want with XSLT. Note that your example is not valid at all (commas between attributes, missing ending '/' for empty elements).

Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted. I will now go back to using xml for simple documents and see how things go.

BTW, it's not a good idea to use the same attribute ("value") as an reference identifier, and for referencing to another element.

Ok. I will keep this in mind. Thanks, Aditya
