XML and TeX

XML and TeX

[AlterEgo Qasars]

Good evening,

I'd like to typeset some TeX command within XML code. Things like

<?context-command \blank[4*line, force] ?>

should work (according to manual), but they don't. The last parameter is 
typeset (word force). With some commands (\noindent) it crashes. What's 
wrong? How to do it?

And one more problem. I write the XML code in an XHTML editor. I'd like 
the TeX stuff to be seen, e.g. written in <U>...</U> environment. How this 
could be done?

Many thanks and greetings.
Michal Kvasnicka

P.S. I'm sorry if this question was discuses  here already. I'm now pretty 
short of time and I can't read the list as carefully as I would like.

i'll have a look; for the moment, remove the space before force

In cont-new.tex you may add (after \unprotect):

\def\rawprocesscommaitem#1,#2%
   {\if]#1\else
      \csname\s!next\the\commalevel\endcsname{#1}%
      \@EA\rawprocesscommaitem
    \fi#2}

this is more tolerant.

BTW, this problem was introduced when extending the \blank macro: you can 
now enter more complex constructs (while it's also much faster).

things like \defineblank[whatever][big,2*small] 
\blank[3*big,2*whatever,small] are supposed to work ok now.
