Dear list, I have the following code: \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {{header, #header}} {xml:titlepage} I guess this is right, but I get the following compilation error: tex error > tex error on line 303 in file pandoc-xhtml.tex: ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \14>:xml:pandoc <to be read again> h <argument> ...en:h1}\xmlsetsetup {\xmldocument }{{header, ##h eader}}{xml:titlepage}\xml... \syst_setups_start_xml_indeed ...1\expandafter {#3 } l.303 \stopxmlsetups If I replace the code above with the following one, everything compiles fine: \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {{header, [id="header"]}} {xml:titlepage} Am I missing something, or what am I doing wrong here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I think it's the "#header" without the name of an element before. Try specifying an element you find in your document (i.e. "{{header, tag#header}}"), just to see if it compiles. If it compiles, it's likely you found a bug. Best wishes, Massi Il giorno lun, 11/12/2017 alle 21.51 +0100, Pablo Rodriguez ha scritto:

No, it doesn’t compile. But {header, #header} shouldn’t be a problem, accorrding to http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf#page=34. If this isn’t a bug, I wonder what I’m doing wrong. Many thanks for your reply, Pablo

Could you send a minimal (not) working example?
I have the following code:
\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {{header, #header}} {xml:titlepage}
The error you get says that #header is read as a macro parameter, but the "#" is not followed by a number, so the error. Why "#header" is interpreted as a parameter? It smells like the "#" is being parsed in a context with the wrong catcodes. I would investigate the first (\xmldocument) and the third argument (your xml:titlepage setup). For the first one, I've always used the form: \xmlsetsetup{#1}{{header, #header}}{xml:titlepage} I'm reading from xml-mkiv.pdf, at page 19, that "The macro \xmldocument expands to the current document id. There is also \xmlself which expands to the current node number (#1 in setups)." Could you modify your setup to use that form ("#1" i mean) and see if it works? Best wishes, Massi

Here you have it: \startbuffer[demo] <doc> <header> <p>Document Title</p> <p>Text from paragraph.</p> </header> <div id="header"> <p>Document Title</p> <p>Text from paragraph.</p> </div> <div class="header"> <p>Document Title</p> <p>Text from paragraph.</p> </div> </doc> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{doc|p}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{{header}}{xml:header} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{{.header}}{xml:header:class} %~ \xmlsetsetup{#1}{{#header}}{xml:header:id} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{{id="header"}}{xml:header:id} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:header \startalign[left]\xmlflush{#1}\stopalign \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:header:class \start\em\xmlflush{#1}\stop \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:header:id \startalign[right]\xmlflush{#1}\stopalign \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext .header works fine, it is only #header that breaks compiliation. I hope Hans can fix it (or explain what I’m doing wrong). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

.header works fine, it is only #header that breaks compiliation.
I hope Hans can fix it (or explain what I’m doing wrong). There's nothing to fix, as mentioned already # is kind of special in tex, so you need to escape it:
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{{\letterhash header}}{xml:header:id} The same is true for % : \letterpercent.

Many thanks for your reply, Hans. I got it now. xml-mkiv.pdf contains not escaped samples of css identifier selectors, which contributes to the confusion. Since the selector is basic in css (and escaping it gives a very weird css), could you consider that it might not be required to escape # as css selector? (I would ask the same also for %, but I have never seen it in css.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

then #1 would not work
