Re: [NTG-context] more xml in mkiv

14 Jul 2008

      Hi all,

I'm resurrecting an ooooold thread and top-posting... For details, see  
the post below. The problem was that the content of itemizations  
sometimes disappeared in xml processed by mkiv. I emphasize  
"sometimes": now you see it, now you don't... I can't really post a  
minimal example that will be certain to display the effect, but I  
have, since May, discovered one thing:

this code:

<item>
   A
</item>

will sometimes make the A disappear. This code:

<item>A</item>

will always work correctly. So Hans, a shot in the dark: can it be  
that your lpeg xml parser can, under certain circumstances, have  
trouble with linebreaks within the xml-subtree it is trying to pick  
up? That would explain the mystery which had me baffled back in May.

All best

Thomas

Hi all,
I played some more with the new mkiv xml mechanism and am beginning  
to
see the light: some things that turned out to be very difficult (at
least for me) with the "old" mechanism are easy now. However, I still
have a couple of questions:
1. I have this minimal file test.xml:
<document>
 <itemize>
   <item>
     one
   </item>
   <item>
     two
   </item>
   <item>
     three
   </item>
 </itemize>
</document>
and this minimal environment test-style.tex:
\startxmlsetups xml:mysetups
      \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{document|itemize|item}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups}
\startxmlsetups xml:document
      \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:itemize
      \startitemize
      \xmlflush{#1}
      \stopitemize
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:item
      \item \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\starttext
\xmlprocess{main}{\inputfilename}{}
\stoptext
When I run texexec --lua --env=test-style test.xml, I get output only
for item "three," not for one and two. What am I doing wrong?
2. In every run, I get this warning:
TeXUtil | check loading of file 'test-style', begin/end problem
I don't see anything wrong with my files, though. Is this harmless?
3. I have a structure like this to get numbered labels:
<lemmasection>
     <label>1234</label>
     <content>
      blahblah
     </content>
   </lemmasection>
you could try something like
\startxmlsetups xml:lemma
 \startlemma{\xmlfirst{#1}{label}}
 \ignorespaces\xmlfirst{#1}{content}\removeunwatedspaces
 \stoplemma
\stopxmlsetups
