Using \startxtable gives an error, whereas \startembeddedxtable does not. What is the cause, what is the difference?
That’s a side effect of the implementation of the buffer mechanism which is used by xtables, as a result of this you can’t use buffer environments in the argument of another command.
Error: Runaway argument? \xmlflush {test::4}\stopxtable \endgroup \stoptext ! File ended while scanning use of \buff_gobble.
Working: \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:table \startembeddedxtable[ \xmlflush{#1} \stopembeddedxtable \stopxmlsetups
Not working: \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:table \startxtable \xmlflush{#1} \stopxtable \stopxmlsetups
Calling this with: \usemodule[hvdm-xml] % contains simple definitions for <table> <tr> <td> through \startxcell etc.
The version of your module on tlcontrib don’t contain such definitions. Wolfgang
