%number=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{yes}{no}, %works %ownnumber=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{},%works
%title={\xmlflush{#1}},%works
there's also \xmlraw{#1}{spec} which works nice with tables of content as it passes the node id

Hi Hans, sorry, i'll try to make it more clear: \startbuffer[test] <a> <title>some text</title> <b>more text </b> <b>more text </b> <title><num>333</num>some text</title> <b>more text </b> <b>more text </b> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a|b|title}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{num}{-} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:b \startparagraph \xmlflush{#1} \stopparagraph \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ueberForceFlush \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:getOwnNumber \xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:title \startchapter[ %\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{ownnumber=\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{number=no} title={Testcase} ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups \setupheader[chapter][ownnumber=yes] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext The relevant part is the line I've commented out because of the error. In the setup xml:title I start the chapter. If the title comes with an number-element I want to set ownnumber=..., but if they have no numbers, I want to set number=no But this approach seems not to work. In my real application the problem is, that I have a more complex setting of defining the title=, ownnumber= etc attributes, but equal in different (up to 15) hierarchies. So I tried to call inside the one setup another setup which should do the work, but also without success (this was my original example). The plan was to call that setup from each hierarchy to avoid redundancy It was like \startxmlsetups xml:title \startchapter[ %---> here call another template to set title= ownnumber= etc. ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups Here again the complete example: \startbuffer[test] <a> <title>some text</title> <b>more text </b> <b>more text </b> <title><num>333</num>some text</title> <b>more text </b> <b>more text </b> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a|b|title}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{num}{-} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:b \startparagraph \xmlflush{#1} \stopparagraph \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ueberForceFlush \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:splitHeader %works not number=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{yes}{no}, ownnumber=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{}, title={\xmlflush{#1}}, \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:title \startchapter[ %trying to call another template to set %title= %ownnumber= %and other stuff... \xmlcommand{#1}{.}{xml:splitHeader} %number=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{yes}{no}, %works %ownnumber=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{},%works %title={\xmlflush{#1}},%works ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups \setupheader[chapter][ownnumber=yes] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext Thanks you and have a nice Weekend Achim Am 08.01.2011 12:15, schrieb Hans Hagen:

Hi Thomas, yes, of course you are right, but thats not making the problems. Its switched in while making a "minimal" example. My problem or maxbe misunderstanding ist what I try to achieve with \xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{ownnumber=\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{number=no} or in a more complex way: \startxmlsetups xml:title \startchapter[ %start here number=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{yes}{no}, %works ownnumber=\xmldoifelse{#1}{/num}{\xmlcommand{#1}{/num}{xml:ueberForceFlush}}{},%works %stop here title={\xmlflush{#1}},%works ] \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups what I want to do is to process the part between %start here and %stop here in another template which I can reuse in different hierarchies. But I cant find no way to do so. Greetings, Achim Am 08.01.2011 14:07, schrieb Thomas A. Schmitz:

Sorry, but I still don't have the faintest idea what it is you want to do. Your minimal example doesn't show it, and your explanations differ from one message to the next. In one of your mails, you said this:
If the title comes with an number-element I want to set ownnumber=..., but if they have no numbers, I want to set number=no
If this is what you're looking for, here's what I would suggest: \startbuffer[test] <a> <chapter title="some text"> <b>more text </b> <b>more text </b> </chapter> <chapter num="333" title="more text"> <b>more text </b> <b>more text </b> </chapter> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a|b|chapter}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:b \startparagraph \xmlflush{#1} \stopparagraph \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \doifelse {\xmlatt{#1}{num}} {} {\setuphead[chapter][number=no] \startchapter[title={\xmlatt{#1}{title}}] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter} {\setuphead[chapter][number=yes] \setupheadnumber[chapter][\xmlatt{#1}{num}] \startchapter[title={\xmlatt{#1}{title}}] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext It's trivial to change the test from an attribute to a <num> element>, but maybe that's not what you're looking for...

Hi Thomas, sorry, I dont want to bother you. But in fact that is not what I'm looking for. Maybe its my fault that I mixed a - as I thougt - related problem in my second mail. What I try to do is reduce redundancy. I cannot see where my explanations differ. In fact, I started with something like your example. But from a redundancy point of view thats a mess so I tried to improve it. I came to something like \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \startchapter[ title={\xmlatt{#1}{title}}, number=\xmldoifelse{#1}{./attribute('num')}{yes}{no}, ownnumber=\xmldoifelse{#1}{./attribute('num')}{\xmlatt{#1}{num}}{} ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups which works fine and at least in my eyes has a clearer structure, but still some redundancy. Now is the point where I think the misunderstandings started, because now I tried two different approaches to decrease redundancy: First step i tried to simplyfy *this* setup and came to something like \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \startchapter[ title={\xmlatt{#1}{title}}, \xmldoifelse{#1}{./attribute('num')}{ownnumber=\xmlatt{#1}{num}}{number=no}, ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups which would nicely eliminate every redundance but doesn't work and complains about the mystery "missing or ungrouped '='" The other attempt was - though i have not only to deal with chapters but up to about 15 hierarchies, all structured in a similar way, so I tried to delegate the processing like \startxmlsetups xml:fillTitleAtts title={\xmlatt{#1}{title}}, number=\xmldoifelse{#1}{./attribute('num')}{yes}{no}, ownnumber=\xmldoifelse{#1}{./attribute('num')}{\xmlatt{#1}{num}}{} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \startchapter[ \xmlcommand{#1}{.}{xml:fillTitleAtts} ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups which would be nicely reusable but that attempt failed whith the same error message - thus I thought they are related. I have to mention, that I try not to process one file but to write setups for a bunch of similar but slightly different books (we're doing about 1000 books per year), so my setups have to be clearly structured and easyly adaptable to different needs. I dunno if that can clear up things, if not, I think its not worth much more discussion. Thanks, Achim Am 08.01.2011 18:00, schrieb Thomas A. Schmitz:
