XML - creating a list by hand (mkiv)

[Peter Rolf <indiego@gmx.net>]

Hi,

can someone give me a helping hand with the following example. I still 
have no general survey over the XML related code in ConTeXt (donno what 
functions to use). The last time I played with it is one and a half year 
ago and many things have changed (meaning that the old examples no 
longer work).

I simply want to create a XML document and insert some elements. My main 
problem is to insert an element at root level. I can insert an element 
before and after another element, but not into the element. I'm not 
sure, if I have understood the meaning of the pattern parameter 
correctly. Is this equal to XPath?

\starttext

\startluacode

local xmp = xml.convert("<?xml version='1.0' 
standalone='yes'?>\n<root>\n<bar>bla</bar>\n</root>")
--xml.before(xmp,"/root/bar","<sub>foo</sub>")

--xml.delete(xmp,"bar")
--xml.inject(xmp,"/sub","<sub>bar</sub>")-- only for xml-files?

xml.insert(xmp,"/root/bar","<sub/>")
--xml.inject(xmp,"/*/bar","<sub/>")

--xml.sprint(xml.filter(xmp,"/root/sub"))

xml.save(xmp,"test.xml")

\stopluacode

\stoptext

Best wishes,  Peter
