Some of the difficulties that I faced with simple documents was:
1. What is the xml equivalent of || 2. What is the xml equivalent of ~ ( ??) 3. What is the xml equivalent of

Hi Aditya,
I've just begun experimenting with xlm (because, as Duncan has pointed out, I'm sure that every line I write is for eternity...). Anyway, what I say here may be totally wrong, but here's how I treat this stuff:
1. For || or |-|, I have defined an entity in my DTD:
<!ENTITY conthyph "-">
In my environment for processing the xml files, I have
\defineXMLentity[conthyph]{|-|}
so I can write context&conthyph;specific and get the output I expect.
2. Yes, I use with these definitions: <!ENTITY nbsp " "> \defineXMLentity[nbsp]{~}
Ah. Thanks. This was easy :)
3. Abbreviations: does xtag-ent.tex do what you want?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it does appear to work for me.
Hmm... somehome I had missed xtag-ent.tex. I was looking at xml introductions, and did not look into ConTeXt sources. I will have a look and see how it goes. Thanks, Aditya
