Re: XML attributes

[Simon Pepping <spepping@scaprea.hobby.nl>]

Tables make a lot of groups. When your <var> tag is read, your
parameter is defined in a group. When you use it in the next cell, you
are in another group, and your parameter value has disappeared. Try
this:

\defineXMLenvironment [var]
    {\xdef\varname{\XMLpar{var}{name}{blah}} \NC \varname \NC }
    {\NC\NR }
