Hi!
I'm trying to design a "universal" markup that will be easy to convert both
to PDF and HTML. I've come to code and equations. I don't want to use
MathML and I want to output (and use in my documents!) verbatim TeX code of
equations to HTML. What worries me is the following:
I want to be able to write and run through Context XML processing:
<formula label="fm:whatever>
x^{2} < y
</formula>
or, for typesetting computer programs:
<code>
if((x&y) >= 3) {
do_something();
}
</code>
(this would translate to \starttyping\stoptyping)
How do I define XML environments that can handle XML special characters
(<>&, etc., I don't know all of them..) gracefully? (i.e. so that I don't
have to type <code> if((x&y) >= 3) </code> and similar for formulas)
Thanks!

Hi there. Sounds as if we're after similar things. I've been working on
similar stuff, expanding on the existing x-contml module with code in
this project:
<http://oo2contml.sourceforge.net/>
(The source code link may be instructive.)
><formula label="fm:whatever>
> x^{2} < y
></formula>
I use the following, as "heavily influenced" by Hans:
%D Recommended by Hans as a variant of \type{\XMLtex}:
\unprotected\def\XMLtexdata#1%
{\begingroup
\disableXML
\scantokens\@EA\@EA\@EA{\csname\@@XMLdata:#1\endcsname}%

%D Display|| and in||line math using \TeX\ syntax:

Dear Friends,
It seems I am really having a problem. The backslash in my import
document yields “.
\startsetups[letter:content]
\input brieftekst
\stopsetups
My document (brieftext.tex) among other things contains the following
string:
ge\"interesseerde, which yields --> ge“”interesseerde
I am unable to use any normal code in my text, which is very problematic!
Kind regards,
Robert

... a minimal example ...
looks like an encoding mismatch or so

Hans,
thanks for your reaction! Here is the minimal example:
1. brief-test.tex is the letter.
2. brief-inhoud-test is the letter content.
3. test-data.xml contains some addresses
The problem is that any backslash in the letter content is changed into
`` in the pdf file. In the "reference" I also put a backslash (after the
item "concerns"), but this one survives.
To get that result I use:
\startsetups[letter:content]
\input brief-inhoud-test.tex
\stopsetups
If I use
\startbuffer[texletter]
\input brief-inhoud-test.tex
\stopbuffer
the content is not loaded into the letter at all; the result is then
``input brief-inhoud-test.tex instead of the content of the file.
The encoding problem with \ is described in one of your manuals, but I
really don't know where to repair it.
A second problem is that the first address slides down to the content
much more than it should. I tried to circumvent that by inserting a
dummy address.
Thanks in advance,
Robert Ermers

The problem is that the letter content is processed in xml mode, so you need:
\startsetups[letter:place:content]
\bgroup \disableXML \endgraf \setups[letter:content] \endgraf \egroup
\stopsetups
(beware, don't redefine a module m-letter-re since only the first 8 chars count;
better put your local variant in an environment
% re-letter.tex
\startenvironment re-letter
\usemodule[letter]
....
\stopenvironment
and then \environment re-letter

Hans,
Thanks for your quick reply. I adapted the file, according to your
suggestion. The letter now comes out right! Thank you for that. I
immediately tried an items list, which also works!
Still, if there is any \ code in the xml file, it does not seem to work.
Changing \"e to ë in Drie\"eenheid makes the ë disappear.
<contact ...>
...
<p>Laan der Drie\"eenheid</p>
...
</contact>
comes out as:
...
Laan der Drie“”eenheid
...
I also found out that \usemodule[m-letter] works much better than
\usemodule[letter], which is not evident from the way is Context set up.
Thanks again,
Robert

BTW: Is this anachronistic limitation to 8 characters planned to
disappear? With the additional t- or u- at the front, we've got a
limitation to six characters, which is really extremely little.

i dunno if there are dos users out there ...
in practice it is no real problem, since context can map longer names (see
cont-fil.tex)

maybe your local m-letter-re gets loaded otherwise
