G’Day,
Having a first go at converting TEI XML to ConTeXt.
Steep learning curve, but easier (for me) than XSLT, and first results were amazing. Using http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf as a guide.
Currently stuck on converting an ISO format date (eg. 1908-01-10) into something more readable (eg. 10 January 1908) in the output. I presume I should create a function (?luacode) that can take any ISO value and output the readable form. The following works but seems to me inefficient.
Grateful for any pointers.
Mike
Here is my MWE:
\startbuffer[demo] <TEI> <text> <body> <div type="letter"> <opener> <date when-iso="1908-01-10" type="divDate">10.I.08</date> </opener> <closer> <date when-iso="1908-03-19" type="secondDate">19 Mar '08</date> </closer> </div> </body> </text> </TEI> \stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{date}{xml:date} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize}
\startxmlsetups xml:date \xmldoifelse {#1}{.[@type='divDate']} { \def\docdate{\ctxlua{ local tyear = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',1,4) local tmonth = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',6,7) local tday = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',9,10) context.date{d = tday, m = tmonth, y = tyear} }} \docdate[day,month,year] = Document Date \par } { \def\docdate{\ctxlua{ local tyear = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',1,4) local tmonth = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',6,7) local tday = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',9,10) context.date{d = tday, m = tmonth, y = tyear} }} \docdate[day,month,year] = Event Date\par } \stopxmlsetups
\starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Can be wikified ...
\startluacode function xml.finalizers.tex.MyDate(e,what,how) local t = string.split(e[1].at[what],"-") context.date( { y = t[1], m = t[2], d = t[3] }, { how } ) end \stopluacode \startxmlsetups xml:date \xmldoifelse {#1}{.[@type='divDate']} { \xmlfilter{#1}{./MyDate("when-iso","day,month,year")}\ Document Date \par } { \xmlfilter{#1}{./MyDate("when-iso","day,month,year")}\ Event Date\par } \stopxmlsetups ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
