XML command synonyms

XML command synonyms

[Pawel Jackowski na Onet]

Hi all!

Is there any way to define XML command synonyms? Assume that one defined

    \deifneXMLenvirnment[subsubsubsubsection]    {.......}    {.......}

How to define 'SSSS' as a synonym of 'subsubsubsubsection' without wrtiting
the same code twice?



Thanks, Pawe/l

Though the following does not yet really work the solution must be looked
for in the following instructions to Context:

\definesection[SSSS]
\setupsection[SSSS][subsubsubsubsection]  %the section SSSS inherits the
settings of subsubsubsubsection

\definehead[Pawel][section=SSSS]

Sorry, apparently I missed part of the message while thinking of a solution.

From DocbookInContext:

%D A \type{\let} for XML environments
\def\letXMLenvironment#1#2%
  {\letvaluevalue{\@@XMLelement:#1/}{\@@XMLelement:#2/}%
   \letvaluevalue{\@@XMLelement:#1}{\@@XMLelement:#2}%
   \letvaluevalue{\@@XMLelement:/#1}{\@@XMLelement:/#2}}%

Works for XMLenvironment.

Thanks a lot, but I'm afraid that doesn't work. TeX complains about
undefined control sequence:


    ConTeXt  ver: 2002.5.24  fmt: 2003.9.3  int: english  mes: english

    ....

    ! Undefined control sequence.
    \letXMLenvironment #1#2->\letvaluevalue

{\@@XMLelement:#1/}{\@@XMLelement:#2...
    l.15 \letXMLenvironment{chapter}{X}

    ?
    ! Emergency stop.
    \letXMLenvironment #1#2->\letvaluevalue

{\@@XMLelement:#1/}{\@@XMLelement:#2...
    l.15 \letXMLenvironment{chapter}{X}

    End of file on the terminal!


Is my ConTeXt to old?

      \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2\endcsname

etc, but before you enter that track, what exactly do you want?

In example; assume that 'subsubsubsubsection' is already defined part of a
document

    \defineXMLenvironment
     [subsubsubsubsection]
     {\subsubsubsubsection}
     {\relax}

Now I would like to define some abbreviations like 'SSSS' (or 'ssss' or even
'S4') in the way that


    <SSSS> ... </SSSS>

will work as well as

    <subsubsubsubsection> ... </subsubsubsubsection>

Of course I can rewrie environment definitions for each needed abbreviation,
but it doesn't seems to be clever way...

Another simple example;

    defineXMLargument
     [center]
     {\midaligned}

How  defne 'mid' tag as a synonym of 'center' without rewriting

    defineXMLargument
     [mid]
     {\midaligned}


So the <bf>question</bf> is how to define <b>synonyms</b> for XML elements,
singular commands, entities...

I use it in the same way as let, but for XML environments. For
example,

store the current value
\letXMLenvironment{origindexterm}{indexterm}%
redefine XML environment indexterm,
do some work,
restore the old value
\letXMLenvironment{indexterm}{origindexterm}}

in that case:

\expandafter\pushmacro\csname...\endcsname
\expandafter\popmacro\csname ...\endcsname

is nicer since it works nested as well

wo maybe we should have: \pushXMLmeaning \popXMLmeaning

\def\pushXMLmeaning#1%
   {\@EA\pushmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname
    \@EA\pushmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname
    \@EA\pushmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname}

\def\popXMLmeaning#1%
   {\@EA\popmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname
    \@EA\popmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname
    \@EA\popmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname}

Does that suit your needs?

Hans

I have never used \pushmacro, but if I see it right, it pushes the
macro on a stack for later restore. That would suit the example I have
given. But it would not always satisfy me. For example, when I want to
use a predefined value as the new value:

store the current value
\pushXMLmeaning{indexterm}%
redefine XML environment indexterm,
  e.g. as \letXMLenvironment{indexterm}{specialindexterm}
do some work,
restore the old value
\popXMLmeaning{indexterm}

XML command synonyms

[Pawel Jackowski na Onet]

Hi Hans, hi Simon!

First of all THANKS a lot for both of you for helpful hints and sugestions.
After many tests and experiments I decided to use
construction:

\def\XMLsynonym#1#2{%

\letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2/\e
ndcsname

\letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2\end
csname

\letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#2\e
ndcsname}

It works ok and suits me best since I (almost) understand HOW it works :)
Using constructions which I don't understand makes me a little bit
frustrated.
I'll do my best to understand other constructions as well.



Thanks a lot, Pawe/l
