Hi, I've the following XML tag in my XML file: <invoice number="194-002" client="RPMB-0012"> <currency>EURO</currency> ..... with invoice being the root tag! Now I have a setup defined as below (only part!): \startxmlsetups xml:invoice:invoice \xmlfirst{#1}{currency} \par \xmldoif{\xmlfirst{#1}{currency}}{contains(text(),'EURO')} { Euro set! \par } ..... The \xmlfirst{#1}{currency} command prints EURO as expected. But the xmldoif command doesn't cause the Euro set be printed?! What's wrong here? The manual xml-mkiv.pdf doesn't give me any hint on how to make this work! Regards, Gerard --

Hi Geert, the syntax reads \xmldoif{#1}{lpath}{action}. So your conditional may read: \xmldoif{#1}{currency[first() and contains(text(),'EURO')]} {Euro set!} In a complete sample (with dollar set first [it won’t show the result unless you set EURO first]): \startbuffer[demo] <doc> <invoice number="194-002" client="RPMB-0012"> <currency>DOLLAR</currency> <currency>EURO</currency> </invoice> </doc> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{doc}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlfirst{#1}{currency} \par \xmldoif{#1}{currency[first() and contains(text(),'EURO')]} {Euro set!} \stopxmlsetups \setuppapersize[A8] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext It is all in xml-mkiv.pdf (http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf#page=49). I have just discovered it 😉. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Hoi Pablo, Thanks for your prompt reply! The output Euro set! is printed always, it doesn't matter whether I put EURO or DOLLAR first?! Also I can't find any clue on the suggested page 49 of xml-mkiv.pdf manual, sorry! By the way, in my document it still doesn't seem to work! I'm afraid all this is far too complex for me! The documentation simply isn't meant for beginners like me, sorry! Regards, Gerard On 01-05-19 13:20, Pablo Rodriguez wrote:

\startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{doc}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize}
\startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlfirst{#1}{currency} \par \xmldoif{#1}{currency[first() and contains(text(),'EURO')]} {Euro set!} \stopxmlsetups
\setuppapersize[A8]
\starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext
It is all in xml-mkiv.pdf (http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf#page=49). I have just discovered it 😉.
Just in case it helps,

Hi Geert, my fault, the conditional should read: \xmldoif{#1}{currency[position()==1 and contains(text(),'EURO')]} {Euro set!} I hope it works fine now. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Hi Pablo, Yes, I got it working! It is somewhat tricky. Trying to understanding the concepts behind all this isn't easy for me, but I'm bashing on. Thanks! Regards, Gerard On 02-05-19 14:47, Pablo Rodriguez wrote:

I also find understanding XML processing rules to be complicated. I simply convert the XML to a lua table, and then use all the processing in lua using CLD (context lua documents). Aditya
Hi Aditya, The ConTeXt team did a great job in writing the manual xml-mkiv.pdf, but I think it is not meant for a beginner. Its contents is rather overwhelming when trying it for the first time. For me, I don't use luatex a lot, so that adds to the difficulty of trying it out. Regards, Gerard On 03-05-19 00:51, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
