URLs in XML, escaping special characters

7 Oct 2020

      Hi,

I'm struggling with getting hyphenated URLs to work from XML input.
How do you enter ampersands and percent signs correctly so that they can 
be used in links?

This here doesn't really works:

================
\startxmlsetups xml:test
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-}
     % Hauptgruppen
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{article|ext-link}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:test}

\startxmlsetups xml:article
\starttext
     \xmlflush{#1}
\stoptext
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:ext-link
     \goto{\hyphenatedurl{\xmlflush{#1}}}[url(\xmlflush{#1})]
\stopxmlsetups

\startbuffer[test]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<article>
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" 
xlink:href="http://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,Glikl&amp;tab=default_tab&amp;search_scope=RAMBI&amp;vid=NLI_Rambi&amp;mfacet=topic,include,Court%20Jews,1&amp;mfacet=topic,include,Glueckel,%20of%20Hameln,%201646-1724,1&amp;lang=en_US&amp;offset=0">http://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,Glikl&t...</ext-link>
</article>
\stopbuffer

\xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{}
=============

Visual output is ok, but the clickable link contains only the text until 
the end of the line.

Best,
Denis
