:: in xml?

:: in xml?

[Christopher Creutzig]

Salvete,

  trying to typeset an unchanged old file with a more recent ConTeXt 
version, I keep running into problems. I have reduced the first of these 
(others may or may not be symptoms of the same, I'll see that later) to 
this input:

\starttext
\startXML
<a>a::b</a>
\stopXML
\stoptext

It seems the xml parser does something special with colons in the 
content of elements. I don't think it should and this is probably just a 
left-over from looking for xml namespaces, but that is just a guess.


Regards,
	Christopher

  The problem is the \setpretty`\:=10 in \XMLsetspecials in 
verb-xml.tex. This should only be done inside <...>.

  Suggested patch (I hope it survives being sent by mail):
