G’Day, Having a first go at converting TEI XML to ConTeXt. Steep learning curve, but easier (for me) than XSLT, and first results were amazing. Using http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf as a guide. Currently stuck on converting an ISO format date (eg. 1908-01-10) into something more readable (eg. 10 January 1908) in the output. I presume I should create a function (?luacode) that can take any ISO value and output the readable form. The following works but seems to me inefficient. Grateful for any pointers. Mike Here is my MWE: \startbuffer[demo] <TEI> <text> <body> <div type="letter"> <opener> <date when-iso="1908-01-10" type="divDate">10.I.08</date> </opener> <closer> <date when-iso="1908-03-19" type="secondDate">19 Mar '08</date> </closer> </div> </body> </text> </TEI> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{date}{xml:date} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:date \xmldoifelse {#1}{.[@type='divDate']} { \def\docdate{\ctxlua{ local tyear = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',1,4) local tmonth = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',6,7) local tday = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',9,10) context.date{d = tday, m = tmonth, y = tyear} }} \docdate[day,month,year] = Document Date \par } { \def\docdate{\ctxlua{ local tyear = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',1,4) local tmonth = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',6,7) local tday = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',9,10) context.date{d = tday, m = tmonth, y = tyear} }} \docdate[day,month,year] = Event Date\par } \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Can be wikified ...
\startluacode function xml.finalizers.tex.MyDate(e,what,how) local t = string.split(e[1].at[what],"-") context.date( { y = t[1], m = t[2], d = t[3] }, { how } ) end \stopluacode
\startxmlsetups xml:date
\xmldoifelse {#1}{.[@type='divDate']} { \xmlfilter{#1}{./MyDate("when-iso","day,month,year")}\ Document Date \par } { \xmlfilter{#1}{./MyDate("when-iso","day,month,year")}\ Event Date\par
} \stopxmlsetups
I couldn’t get this to work. Had to change it to:
\startluacode function xml.finalizers.tex.MyDate(e,what,how) local ee = e[1].at[what] local t = (string.split(ee,"-")) context.date( { y = t[1], m = t[2], d = t[3] }, { how } ) end \stopluacode
You mean the () around the split? weird. Anyway, there's also a time splitter (dedicated to Alan who needed one): print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("2019-03-05 12:12:12"))) print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("2019/03/05 12:12:12"))) print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("05-03-2019 12:12:12"))) print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("05/03/2019 12:12:12"))) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("2019-03-05 12:12:12")) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("2019/03/05 12:12:12")) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("05-03-2019 12:12:12")) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("05/03/2019 12:12:12")) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
