Re: Strange expansion behavior in XML/luatex

["Martin Kolařík" <martin.kolarik@email.cz>]

I see,

and for the single case it works. Also saving is fine, I am using it. 
Unfortunately, my example was too reduced :-). In fact, I have a problem 
with more complex documents, for example, think about:

<section>
<caption>Some <inline what="something"> caption</caption>
<text><p>Text.</p></text>
</section>

Now, if I want not to only typeset a caption, but also to store it and 
reuse it later (typeset it twice, e.g. in the marging or elsewhere in 
the page, ...), it fails (on \processaction, \doif, ...).

So, if I understand, there is a way to modify my XML template to be safe 
during expanding -- I would use self unexpandable macros). Another way 
is problematic, as \edef inside \edef causes problems? Is it true or 
there is some other way?

Thank you,

Martin
