active chars in xml -- suggestions needed
Dear listmates, I need some suggestions on how to setup non breaking spaces in XML. I tried an empty element <nbsp/> to be processed as follows: \startxmlsetups xml:nbsp ~ \stopxmlsetups which was ignored by context. (I'll need something similar with \discretionary as well, I guess.) Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Have you tried \xmlsetentity{nbsp}{~} \xmlsetentity{dishyph}{\-} ? Both seem to work for me Thomas

Good morning Thomas, thanks very much, this way it works great. But is there any documentation on this apart from lxml-ini.mkiv and the list archive? Philipp

I don't think that there is any docu on this particular question. I assume you've read http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf ? This will at least give you the basics (and then some more). I had always tended to map single characters to xml entities and more complex commands to xml elements, but I can't really tell you why. Maybe one of the real experts in this area can help us here? Best Thomas
