Hi all!

I'm working with huge XML documents which are compiled to PDF (with ConTeXt)
and converted to HTML (with XSLT and others). These XML documents contain
references to external files (images). References are mapped to paths with
XML code; i.e. <imgref  id="cow"  src="./images/cow.png"/>. Translating such
a map to ConTeXt is rather obvious. But how to implement simmilar mechanism
for external XML documents? In example I would like to use command
\useexternaldocument[intro][introduction.xml] and than process
'introduction.xml' on the base of is ID reference ('intro').

Is it possible? Does ConTeXt suport referencing documents as well as
figures?



Regards, Pawe/l

you can use this:

\definefilesynonym[indirect][whatever.xml]

\starttext

\processXMLfile{\truefilename{indirect}}

\stoptext

given that the whatever.xml file is there
