Re: processing xml with lua

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Hi,

may I ask another question about my new favorite topic? No? Anyway: here 
comes. While processing xml, I would like to store the content of a node 
in a lua table and retrieve it later. The example is silly, but 
demonstrates my problem. Is there a way to have ConTeXt process and 
typeset the value in lines 3 and 4? As you can see, it typesets the raw 
xml instead of processing it. (I suspect I'm still a bit lost regarding 
the difference between xml... and lxml... functions, but I couldn't hit 
the right combination here).

Thanks, and all best

Thomas
