Dear all, For a small project, I have two questions (without MWE…) on processing xml via Lua and context. I’ll write two messages so eager volunteers can reply more easily! So question one: given an xml structure like this <section> <sectiontitle> Introduction: the <em>Iliad</em> </sectiontitle> <sectionlist> Introduction: the <em>Iliad</em> </sectionlist> </section> I want to typeset the section title with some added information. Since I’m processing in a loop, I thought this would be easier in Lua, so I have something like this: local i = 0 local sessions = { “April 2”, “April 9”, “April 16” } -- etc. function xml.functions.section(t) i = i + 1 local raw_section = xml.text (t, "/sectiontitle") local section_head = i .. ". session, " .. sessions [i] .. ": " .. raw_section context.startsection { title=section_head } lxml.flush (t) context.stopsection () end However, this means that the section_head is serialized as a string and not processed according to the xml setups, so I have “the <em>Iliad</em>” in my typeset document. How can this be avoided? How can I have the <em>...</em> processed instead of serialized in the section title? Thanks for looking at my code! Thomas
