Re: [NTG-context] Synonyms and XML - HOWTO?

3 May 2006

      Rather than doing this dirtily and on the fly (as implied by the quoted
code, I'd like to use synonyms in a more cleaner fashion: separate calling
and definition.
I have come up with the following code, but have two problems:
1) '<abb key="key" opt="full"/>' just gives me '[key]' after
defining '<abbreviation key="key"><short>shortkey</short><full>slightly
longer key</full></abbreviation>'.
2) The '\XMLop{key}' should really be the result of that preceeded by a '\'
to make the short version callable as a command. How to do that?

Thanks for any help,

Joh

% setup 'synonymes' list called 'abbreviations'
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull]

% give all out in the list
\setupsynonyms[abbreviation][criterium=all]

% <abbreviations/> calls the completelist as a 'chapter'
\defineXMLargument  [abbreviations]   {\completelistofabbreviations}

% abbreviations are defined as follows
\defineXMLenvironment
  [abbreviation]
  [key=]
  {
    \defineXMLsave[short]
    \defineXMLsave[full]
  }
  {\expanded{\abbreviation[\XMLop{key}]{\XMLflush{short}}{\XMLflush{full}}}}

% abbreviations are recalled like this (short version is the default)
\defineXMLargument
  [abb]
  [key=,opt=short]
  {
    \doifelse{\XMLop{opt}}{full}
      {\expanded{\infull{\XMLop{key}}}}
      {\XMLop{key}}
  }
