In a Lua function called from within an \startxmlsetups..\stopxmlsetups code block I would like to search through the current node and all below. Using string.match("to-be-searched”,”pattern”). The Lua function being called through \def\findmypattern#1#2{\ctxlua{tex.print(hvdm.findmypattern("#1","#2",))} But I do not seem to get the node contents in the first argument #1. Using \xmlverbatim{#1} fails with Lua error "hexadecimal digit expected near '"\xm’”. \xmlflushpure{#1} fails with Lua error "invalid escape sequence near …” Any help? dr. Hans van der Meer
