Hi all,
must be the heat here in Germany - I'm all out of ideas, and I have no
example yet. Maybe someone can help: is it possible to define an xml
setup that will run arbitrary tex code? Something like this (obviously
pseudo-code):
in a TeX file MyInputs.tex which will be loaded at runtime, I have:
\startTEXbuffer[mybuffer]
\color[red]{Hello World!}
\stopTEXbuffer
in the xml, I have
<gettexbuffer>mybuffer</gettexbuffer>
and in the setups
\input MyInputs
\startxmlsetups xml:gettexbuffer
\getTEXbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}]
\stopxmlsetups
I tried with simple \startbuffer[mybuffer] ... \getbuffer[mybuffer], but
the result is that the TeX code is typeset verbatim, not processed
(problem of catcodes?). Any takers before I pull myself together and try
to come up with an example?
Thanks!
Thomas

I know that I should refuse to answer questions without a minimal
example ... I'm pretty sure that your students can't use the heat-wave
excuse.
\startbuffer[example]
<something>
<sometex>weird</sometex>
</something>
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[weird]
\color[red]{Looks red to me!}
\stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:mysetups
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups}
\startxmlsetups xml:something
\blank \relax [start something] \blank
\xmlflush{#1}
\blank \relax [stop something] \blank
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:sometex
\pushcatcodetable
\catcodetable\ctxcatcodes
\getbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}]
\popcatcodetable
\stopxmlsetups
\starttext
\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{example}{}
\stoptext
I'll replace \processTEXbuffer by:
\unexpanded\def\processTEXbuffer
{\dosingleempty\doprocessTEXbuffer}
\def\doprocessTEXbuffer[#1]%
{\pushcatcodetable
\catcodetable\ctxcatcodes
\getbuffer[#1]%
\popcatcodetable}
so that you can say:
\startxmlsetups xml:sometex
\processTEXbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}]
\stopxmlsetups

You're right, of course, for educational purposes... As for my students:
they use the weirdest excuses anyway...

Excellent, it must be less hot in Hasselt then... Thanks for the
example, and for the solution! So \processTEXbuffer will end up in the
core?
All best
Thomas
