Hello list, I remember having read something about this, but I can't remember where: I need to prevent the next \par.
The context (lowercase) is XML typesetting, where sometimes I want to concatenate two paragraphs in a particular typesetting, while keeping the original structure of the document (two distinct paragraphs).
To give you an idea, in XHTML it could be something like this: ----------- <p>This is a paragraph.<?injecttex \preventpar ?></p> <p>This is the next paragraph.</p> -----------
Here is a weekend solution ... % Let's borrow some mwe as that was not provided: \startbuffer[test] <something> <what samepar="true"> one </what> <what> two </what> <what> three </what> <what> four </what> </something> \stopbuffer % some trivial mapping \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{something|what}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:something \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups % variant 1: \startxmlsetups xml:what \doifelse {\xmlattribute{#1}{./preceding-sibling::[-1]}{samepar}} {true} { \removeunwantedspaces \space \xmlflush{#1} } { \bpar \xmlflush{#1} \epar } \stopxmlsetups % variant 2: \startxmlsetups xml:what \xmldoifelse {#1} {./preceding-sibling::[-1][@samepar='true']} { \removeunwantedspaces \space \xmlflush{#1} } { \bpar \xmlflush{#1} \epar } \stopxmlsetups % variant 3: \startxmlsetups xml:what \ifxml {#1} {./preceding-sibling::[-1][@samepar='true']} \removeunwantedspaces \space \xmlflush{#1} \else \bpar \xmlflush{#1} \epar \fi \stopxmlsetups % let's test \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext so, you can go verbose (variant 1), more efficient (variant 2), and even more effcicient in natural (emulated) tex speak.
