active chars in xml -- suggestions needed

[Philipp Gesang]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 464 bytes --]

Dear listmates,


I need some suggestions on how to setup non breaking spaces in XML.  I
tried an empty element <nbsp/> to be processed as follows:

\startxmlsetups xml:nbsp
~
\stopxmlsetups

which was ignored by context.  (I'll need something similar with
\discretionary as well, I guess.)

Thanks for any suggestions,


Philipp

Have you tried

\xmlsetentity{nbsp}{~}
\xmlsetentity{dishyph}{\-}
? Both seem to work for me

Good morning Thomas,

thanks very much, this way it works great.  But is there any
documentation on this apart from lxml-ini.mkiv and the list archive?

I don't think that there is any docu on this particular question. I assume you've read  http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf ? This will at least give you the basics (and then some more). I had always tended to map single characters to xml entities and more complex commands to xml elements, but I can't really tell you why. Maybe one of the real experts in this area can help us here? 

Best

Thomas
