CDATA/XML

CDATA/XML

[Michael Wiedmann]

How does ConTeXt handle CDATA sections in XML?
The following does not work, but is legal XML:

<programlisting><![CDATA[#include <string.h>
void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);
3rd line
4th line
]]></programlisting>

Incorrectly :). I'd post a fix later today.

Meanwhile, this works OK:

<programlisting><![CDATA[
#include <string.h>
void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);
3rd line
4th line
]]></programlisting>

Oops, it didn't. :(

Here is a fix for Context that makes sure it behaves ok wrt.
CDATA sections. Should be included somewhere on top of the document
or in cont-usr.tex (until it makes it into the distribution)

% start of patch
\let\doxparseXMLescape\xparseXMLescape
\def\xparseXMLescape!#1%
   {\if[#1%
       \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\doCDATAsection
    \else \if-#1%
       \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\doCOMMENT
    \else
       \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\doparseXMLescape 
    \fi\fi !#1}

\def\doCDATAsection![#1[%
  {\skipfirstverbatimlinefalse
   \processtaggeddisplayverbatim{]]>}}

\def\doCOMMENT {\gobbleuntil{-->}}
% end of patch

it can go into cont-new.tex after \unprotect and is then available at run time

actually, CDATA is handled in xtag-pre but the problem is using a space as 
delimiter (will have a look)

is <![ always CDATA ?

In the beta the patch is:

in xtag-ini: grab #1 from ]...]

\long\def\xparseXMLescape !#1#2%
   {\if#1-%
      \if#2-%
        \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\xxparseXMLescape
      \else
        \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\xyparseXMLescape
      \fi
    \else
      \if#1[%
        \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\xzparseXMLescape
      \else
        \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\xyparseXMLescape
      \fi
    \fi#1#2}

\long\def\xzparseXMLescape[#1[{\parseXMLescape{#1}}

in xtag-pre: {CDATA]} => CDATA

\defineXMLescape [CDATA]
   {\skipfirstverbatimlinefalse
    \processtaggeddisplayverbatim{]]>}}

So, this way we keep the installable parser in place

Are you sure this works for possibly included "<!DOCTYPE" declarations?

No,
there are so-called conditional sections which start with "<![" too
(e.g. "<![IGNORE[", "<![INCLUDE[").

The spec says:

 2.7 CDATA Sections

 [Definition: CDATA sections may occur anywhere character data may occur; 
 they are used to escape blocks of text containing characters which would 
 otherwise be recognized as markup. CDATA sections begin with the string 
 "<![CDATA[" and end with the string "]]>":]

ok, so these can be handled by the installable version

\defineXMLescape [IGNORE] {\gobbleuntil{]]>}}

and so on

In an XML instance, yes.

These are only allowed in the external subset (in a DTD). Because ConTeXt doesn't 
parse DTDs, it doesn't really matter. Which is a good thing, because this is also 
legal wrt. conditional sections:

  <!ENTITY % draft 'INCLUDE' >
  <!ENTITY % final 'IGNORE' >

  <![%draft;[
  <!ELEMENT editedbook (comments*, title, body, supplements?)>
  <![ %final; [
  <!ELEMENT book (title, body, supplements?)>
  ]]>]]>

and parsing all that is well beyond the scope of the current parser. ;)

Not true but not relevant either (see my other post)

In my current newly installed beta version from 2002-03-04 I can't find
this exactly as shown, so I understand your posting, that the patch will
go into the next version? This is OK for me.

should be xtag-ini and xtag-pre, in your version too; never mind, the next 
version has it in there anyway

Using the latest Beta (2002-03-12) CDATA still does not work :-(

[ I see the changes you suggested a few days ago in xtag-pre.tex and 
xtag-ini.tex ]

Works ok in processed XML files, just not in XMLdata/XMLcode. 

For Hans: I am guessing there is no ^M available due to catcode changes ?
