[NTG-context] xml and lpath

25 Oct 2011

      Hi all,

I'm testing the possibilities of xml and ConTeXt. I was wondering if it 
is possible to make an extra setup for every text-element. So it would 
be possible to have an setup in a very flexible way. It should be 
something like this:

\startbuffer[text]
<a>
   <b>
     First text.
     <hiding type="begin"/>
     Second text.
   </b>
   Third text.
   <hiding type="end"/>
   Fourth text.
</a>
\stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:textsetups
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{a|b}{xml:*}
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{hiding[type='begin']}{xml:hiding:begin}
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{hiding[type='end'}{xml:hiding:end}
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text()}{xml:text} % Something like this is needed
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:a
     \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:b
     \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:hiding:begin
     \enablemode[hiding]
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:hiding:end
     \disablemode[hiding]
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:text
     \startnotmode[hiding]
         \xmlflush{#1}
         \crlf
     \stopnotmode
\stopxmlsetups

So that the result will be:

First text.
Fourth text.

Is something like this possible or is there still another way?

Best regards,

Martin
