Subject: include file in xml processing
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:38:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <C213AAB7-C65F-407C-A22A-F49A7999248E@xs4all.nl> (raw)

I have the following setup for use of ConTeXt code in an xml-processing setup:

% Usage: <tex> ... </tex>
\startxmlsetups xmlcommon:tex
\ignorespaces
\xmlstripnolines{#1}{.}	% need to strip sufficient space characters
\xmlcontext{#1}{.}
\stopxmlsetups

Since I need some MetaPost drawings repeatedly I thought to include those from a separate file:
<tex>
\input thedirectory/thefile
\useMPgraphic{lfsr}{stages=285}
</tex>

The file is read, but typeset as is, MetaPost processing does not occur. By the way, inserting the MetaPost code in place of the \input works ok.

I also tried \usemodule[thedirectory/thefile] instead, but then nearly everything MetaPost encounters is undefined.

Does someone know how to get the file inclusion right?
