Ciao Luigi,

grazie.
I didn't know about lxml. Very goo dto know.
But the idea was to "stay inside" ConTeXt so to be able to generate the pdf from inside SuperCollider using the provided  interface to bash.
I'd like to consider luatex, but I'm only a bit scaredby
- installation issued (so I'm waitin for a TeXlive release)
- documentation. (where's lxml_in_luatex documentation? I guess in sources)

Best

Hi to all,

I' ve started playing with xml --> context.
I've read the docs but even if I am able to do some very basic operation I'm
in troubles doing my first real experiment.

I've  already generated a book from the collection of html help files of the
SuperCollider language using a cumbersome python script.
But I was guessing that probably using xml mapping would make my life
easier.

Indeed, lxml under python is a cool module.
See
http://codespeak.net/lxml/
lxml_in_python  implements also full xpath/xslt

An example file  to be processed is here:

Please ,if you can, consider luatex+context mkiv; in base folder see
l-xml-edu.lua  lxml-ini.lua  lxml-ini.tex  l-xml.lua
(warning : lxml here has nothing to do with lxml in python, only the same names)
I believe that actually lxml_in_luatex does not implements a full xpath/xslt,
because  not always these are useful in this context.

(If I need a full xpath/xslthere here, then I have a too much complex
xml document, and I preprocessing it with lxml_in_python)

With lxml_in_python_ and lxml_in_luatex_
you can solve all ** reasonable ** problems.
Sometimes only lxml_in_python is need, sometimes only lxm_in_luatex, it depends.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
