Hi, For typesetting XML I'm wondering how to best store text for later use: I've tried using buffers, but this here doesn't work: ================== \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta \setupdocument [ pub-year=\xmlfilter{#1}{/pub-date/year/command(xml:article-meta:pubdate:year)}, volume=\xmlfilter{#1}{/volume/command(xml:article-meta:volume)}, doi=\xmlfilter{#1}{/article-id[@pub-id-type='doi']/command(xml:article-meta:doi)}, elocation-id=\xmlfilter{#1}{/elocation-id/command(xml:article-meta:elocation-id)}, title=\xmlfilter{#1}{/title-group/article-title/command(xml:article-meta:title-group:article-title)}, author={\AuthorList}, ] \startbuffer[abstract] \xmlfilter{#1}{/abstract/command(xml:article-meta:abstract)} \stopbuffer \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta:abstract \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups =================== This here works: ================== \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta \setupdocument [ pub-year=\xmlfilter{#1}{/pub-date/year/command(xml:article-meta:pubdate:year)}, volume=\xmlfilter{#1}{/volume/command(xml:article-meta:volume)}, doi=\xmlfilter{#1}{/article-id[@pub-id-type='doi']/command(xml:article-meta:doi)}, elocation-id=\xmlfilter{#1}{/elocation-id/command(xml:article-meta:elocation-id)}, title=\xmlfilter{#1}{/title-group/article-title/command(xml:article-meta:title-group:article-title)}, author={\AuthorList}, abstract=\xmlfilter{#1}{/abstract/command(xml:article-meta:abstract)}, ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta:abstract \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups =================== But has using a variable for the abstract any drawbacks? (The abstract might contain multiple paragraphs.) Best, Denis
