Ciao Luigi, grazie. I didn't know about lxml. Very goo dto know. But the idea was to "stay inside" ConTeXt so to be able to generate the pdf from inside SuperCollider using the provided interface to bash. I'd like to consider luatex, but I'm only a bit scaredby - installation issued (so I'm waitin for a TeXlive release) - documentation. (where's lxml_in_luatex documentation? I guess in sources) Best -a- On 1 Nov 2007, at 05:47, luigi scarso wrote:

Hi to all,

I' ve started playing with xml --> context. I've read the docs but even if I am able to do some very basic operation I'm in troubles doing my first real experiment.

I've already generated a book from the collection of html help files of the SuperCollider language using a cumbersome python script. But I was guessing that probably using xml mapping would make my life easier.

Indeed, lxml under python is a cool module. See http://codespeak.net/lxml/ lxml_in_python implements also full xpath/xslt

...

An example file to be processed is here:

Please ,if you can, consider luatex+context mkiv; in base folder see l-xml-edu.lua lxml-ini.lua lxml-ini.tex l-xml.lua (warning : lxml here has nothing to do with lxml in python, only the same names) I believe that actually lxml_in_luatex does not implements a full xpath/xslt, because not always these are useful in this context.

(If I need a full xpath/xslthere here, then I have a too much complex xml document, and I preprocessing it with lxml_in_python)

With lxml_in_python_ and lxml_in_luatex_ you can solve all ** reasonable ** problems. Sometimes only lxml_in_python is need, sometimes only lxm_in_luatex, it depends.

- documentation. (where's lxml_in_luatex documentation? I guess in sources) yes

Could anyone write few lines in the wiki to explain how and where to extract doc information from sources? I'm always finding some difficulties in snooping inside ConTeXt Or if it is discussed on the mailing list I can wikify the results. Best -a-

Where? I'm still having difficulties in knowing how to find sources, plus on macosx these are typically hidden files so I have to make some tricks to have them searchable.

Grazie Luigi, I'm a bit scared because I'n not a unix person (at least, still) so when I encounter some troubles I'm always blocked. Best -a- On 3 Nov 2007, at 12:25, luigi scarso wrote:

Ah, macosx , not linux. BTW http://minimals.contextgarden.net/ can help to setup a mkiv context
