Introduction
Handling XML in ConTeXt has improved dramatically with the advent of MkIV.
The new Lua–based infrastructure makes typesetting, manipulating, filtering, and reusing XML much much easier than before.
Unfortunately, this means that most of the existing documentation is now obsolete.
In general, old MkII code includes the uppercase XML string in its commands (as in \getXMLcode[name]), while new MkIV code uses lowercase xml (as in \xmlflush{#1}).
Documents about XML in MkIV
General Information
- Dealing with XML in ConTEXt MkIV: the official manual that explains everything. Too hard to be a good starting point (unless you are confident [or at least familiar] with XPath).
- MathML in MkIV: also official document to math typesetting with XML sources.
- TEI XMLl: example of TEI–encoded source typeset with ConTeXt.
- DocBook: example of how to typeset DocBook sources with help of a ConTeXt module.
- Formatting XML Objects: not (yet?) available for MkIV.
- Verbatim in XML: how to typeset XML sources verbatim in final text.
- Processing XML tables as Extreme Tables: example about XML tables as ConTeXt tables (extreme or natural).
- XHTML in MkIV: Getting Web Content and pdf-Output from One Source, by Thomas Schmitz.
- Processing of Ctx XML files
Processing XML with lua
- XML in Lua (manipulating XML in Lua)
XHTML in MKIV
- Thomas’ My Way on processing XHTML with MKIV: Getting Web Content and pdf-Output from One Source (already mentioned).
