define macro from xml-attribute
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/29c7bbff49b1599eddb2ec73fd9ffa6e.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I would like to accomplish the following in xml processing. <node macro="various macro calls"> and then define the attribute value as a TeX macro. For example, to use this in font switching: <node macro="\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]"> Doing this in the following manner does not work: \startxmlsetups namespace \def\macro{\xmlattdef{#1}{macro}{\empty}} \stopxmlsetups The contents evaluates not to a working macro. Something with catcodes, I presume, but I do not how to do it properly. Preferably I would like to see \meaning\macro evaluate to: \switchtobodyfont[helvetica]. Can someone enlighten me?
