Question about parsing XML and attributes (normally var.at.attrib) with a name with ':' in it

Question about parsing XML and attributes (normally var.at.attrib) with a name with ':' in it

If I have an XML element like this:

<A x=“one” attribute:B=“two"/>

and it has been read in a lua variable foo, I can get at attribute x with foo.at.x 

But how do I get at attribute:B?

foo.at[“attribute:B”]

I looked at the code and guessed this. Still haven’t found really good documentation for lua, lua in ConTeXt, and especially theXML stuff (it’s all written as \xmlsomething TeX commands. No idea if this is ConTeXt, lua or whatever but it works.

Hi Gerben,

Not behind a computer right now, but you should look at the output of 

   table.print(foo)

Best wishes,
Taco
