Subject: define macro from xml-attribute
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:25:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F78EFF9-4F0F-4D34-8388-77477911CA19@uva.nl> (raw)

I would like to accomplish the following in xml processing.

<node macro="various macro calls"> and then define the attribute value as a TeX macro.
For example, to use this in font switching: <node macro="\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]">

Doing this in the following manner does not work:

\startxmlsetups namespace
  \def\macro{\xmlattdef{#1}{macro}{\empty}} 
\stopxmlsetups

The contents evaluates not to a working macro.
Something with catcodes, I presume, but I do not how to do it properly.
Preferably I would like to see \meaning\macro evaluate to: \switchtobodyfont[helvetica].

Can someone enlighten me?

Hans van der Meer
