Hello Wolfgang,

thanks for Your hint.

OK, sorry, maybe I shouldn't address Hans directly when writing to the mailing list... ;-)

> BTW: Your xml file is valied because you forgot to include the

Ooops! I've quickly created a minimal test file; of course I didn't want to attach the real file where I've encountered that problem...

Anyway, the XML file is structured the following way:

<chapter><title>This is a&nbsp;testing chapter</title>
<para>Some meaningless text...</para>
</chapter>

<chapter><title>So &mdash; let's see</title>
<para>Some meaningless text...</para>
</chapter>

... the paragraphs are enclosed inside chapters.
So unfortunately I can't use your solution because the \chapter command needs to be issued at the beginning, not at the end tag.

Got any another idea?


Many thanks,
Richard

Hello Richard,

I'm not Hans but I can also give you a solution to your problem.

This is related to your own definition for the chapter header and
ConTeXt's mechanism to save the two pass information of the headers,
you should save the header text and expand the header command
with the header text, you can use my example for your problem.

BTW: Your xml file is valied because you forgot to include the
chapter end tag.

\defineXMLenvironment [chapter]
{\defineXMLsave[title]}
{\expanded{\chapter{\XMLflush{title}}}}

\defineXMLenvironment[para] \dontleavehmode \par

\defineXMLentities [tex] {tex} {\TeX}

\starttext
\completecontent

\startXMLdata
<chapter><title>This is a testing &tex; chapter</title></chapter>
<para>Some meaningless text...</para>
\stopXMLdata

\stoptext

Wolfgang
