Hi,
Is it possible to process an XML file inside a zip file without unzipping?
In particular, I have a program that generates zip files which look like this:
The file `filename.zip` contains: - filename.xml - file_hash1.png - file_hash2.png etc.
Where `filename.xml` (the name matches the basename of the zip file) is the main xml file and the `file_hash1.png` etc are png files that are referred to inside the xml file.
If I unzip the file and add
\setupexternalfigures[directory={path-to-unzipped-folder]
then, I have an \startxmlsetups .. \stopxmlsetups environment that correctly typesets the xml file. I believe that I have seen Hans post snippets of code that suggest that context can directly read from a zip file. So, I am wondering if there is a way that I can just call
context --magic-flags filename.zip
You can directly typeset ePub files which is just zipped XML. There is a script in mtxrun for it:
context --ctx=x-epub.ctx yourfile.epub
Documented in: http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/hybrid.pdf
Thanks. But I could not find `x-epub.ctx` file in the standalone distribution. Aditya
