Dear all,
What is currently the best source for documentation on mark iv's xml capabilities?

I have read that chapter and I wonder whether this XML handling will be available in LuaTeX or it will be exclusive for ConTeXt.
luatex is just lua + tex + access to each other, the luatex dev team will *not* provide solutions; mkiv is what we use for testing etc etc
Sorry if the question seems to be stupid. I would like to know whether this will be available for LuaTeX + LaTeX one day.
i'm thinking of a multi layer context i.e. kind of macro package building subsystem; this means that we can for instance provide a kind of bare tex with only core functionality (fonts, languages, io, xml, etc) i have no plans to support latex if only because i have no need for it; the xml parser is rather generic, which is why it is in l-xml, but things may change (there will be more functionality, as in lxml-*) (btw, the lpath code is somewhat experimental and will be extended, as will manipulative functions) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
