[NTG-context] Re: XML: flush to lua function

12 Sep 2023

      Hi,

xml.text(t) is safer than directly accessing t.dt[1].

Note: you may need to strip some XML tags from that content. 

If the element is not straight-up data but has nested elements, then this will return the full xml representation instead:

 <title>A short title</title>                => ‘A short title'
 <title><A short title></title>        => ‘<A short title>'
 <title><A <b>short</b> title></title> => '<title><A <b>short</b> title></title>'

Best wishes,
Taco

Ok, I’ve found a way, see below.
But maybe someone has some nice lua (or other) tricks to share… (I’m not sure accessing t.dt[1] is particularly safe when operating on nested structures.)

Betreff: [NTG-context] XML: flush to lua function
 Hi,
I have the following xml setup with a lua function:
 \startluacode
                function markingLength(s)
                _,n = s:gsub("%S+","")
                if n > 3 then                 context("yes" .. " …") else context("no") end
                end
\stopluacode
 \startxmlsetups xml:ink:ink-title:marking
                %\ctxlua{markingLength(\xmlflush{#1})}  % does not work
                \ctxlua{markingLength{"1 2 3 4"}}
\stopxmlsetups
 While the function works, I cannot use xmlflush here. How can I properly pass the xml content to the lua function?
 Best,
Denis
