Not CALS, but I do a lot of HTML table processing. I find it all much easier on the lua side, because there the
attributes are just in a table entry of the argument node t ( t.at ):
set up a lua function in the setups:
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:base
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:demo:*}
\xmlsetfunction {\xmldocument}{entry}{userdata.xmlfunctions.entry}
\stopxmlsetups
and then add this lua code:
\startluacode
userdata.xmlfunctions = {}
function userdata.xmlfunctions.entry (t)
local rows = (t.at.morerows or 1) + 1
context.bTD({nr=rows})
lxml.flush(t)
context.eTD()
end
\stopluacode
All of the tex-side commands also exist in lua, in the lxml and/or xml table, e.g.:
direct output flushing:
lxml.flush(t)
lxml.all(t, ‘entry’)
filter for processing:
for b in xml.collected(lxml.getid(t),'../row/entry') do … end
(those are the ones I use a lot, there are many more)
Best wishes,
Taco
