XML processing instructions

XML processing instructions

[Duncan Hothersall via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1887 bytes --]

I have a big set of existing XML books (held in a derivative of DocBook)
which I'm looking to start processing directly with ConTeXt. (Up to now I
have a system which converts the XML into ConTeXt code which is then
processed, but this is inefficient and lots of the code is now unsupported.)

I've had some success producing output, but my first real sticking point
has come with processing instructions. The existing XML contains lots of
processing instructions of the form
<?capdm whatever?>, some of which can be conditional and introduce new data
etc. But I'd be happy at this stage if I could just process the most basic
one of them, which is used to introduce a line stop in a running paragraph
of text.

My best guess at how to do this was to use the lxml.preprocessor function
to convert the processing instruction into an element, and then process the
element as normal. But (a) my attempt didn't work, and (b) there may well
be a better way.

Minimal working example below, except that obviously the processing
instruction bit doesn't work!

Thanks for any help or insights.

Duncan

Apologies, there are two rogue * in the lxml.preprocessor code, but even
when they are removed it doesn't work.

Hi Duncan,

I have used context’s own injectors for this :

<?context-directive injector addlinetopage ?>

\startsetups xml:directive:injector:addlinetopage
  \adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\stopsetups

Or, for your line break example :

That was too quick, sorry.

Hi Duncan,

I have used context’s own injectors for this :

<?context-directive injector addlinetopage ?>

\startsetups xml:directive:injector:addlinetopage
  \adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\stopsetups

Or, for your line break example :

<?context-directive injector newline ?>

\startsetups xml:directive:injector:newline
  \crlf
\stopsetups

Also, I have learned that you can just use arbitrary context code in xml:

\def\xmltexdirective#1#2{\doif{#1}{command}{#2}}

\xmlinstalldirective{tex}{xmltexdirective}

         <?context-directive tex command \inframed{xxx} ?>
         <?context-directive tex command \page ?>
         <?context-directive tex command \crlf ?>

Best,
Denis

Many thanks Denis. Very useful tip on the injectors and generalised command
usage. That will definitely come in useful.

My problem is that I already have a lot of XML data with the existing
processing instructions in it. I know I could use an external preprocess in
something like Python to change them into injectors before they are fed
into ConTeXt, but I was hoping there was a way to handle them directly as
part of the ConTeXt / lua process.

Thanks again though.

Duncan

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5729 bytes --]

Just following up on my own question in case anybody else is interested, I
realised that the logic of my preprocessor code wasn't the problem, it was
just my ignorance of lua and character escaping. Both ? and * are special
characters in string.gsub expressions, so they need to be escaped with the
lua escape character which is % (which sends my editor haywire because it
thinks I am putting in a TeX comment, but never mind!).

So my now working code to translate historic processing instructions into
directives without a separate pass is:

\startluacode
function lxml.preprocessor(data)
 data = string.gsub(data, '<%?capdm %*force_line_stop%?>',
'<?context-directive injector newline ?>')
 return data
end
\stopluacode

\startsetups xml:directive:injector:newline
 \crlf
\stopsetups

XML Processing Instructions

[Michael Wiedmann]

How do I best handle - non ConTeXt related - XML Processing
Instructions?

Given:

<phrase>foo foo foo <?some-pi?> bla bla bla</phrase>

and a mapping of

\defineXMLenvironment[phrase] \em

the rendering stops right after the last "foo".

I just want ConTeXt to ignore the PI.

That is because context expects a form like <?pi-name pi-data?>. The
data are inserted as a single token after the defined XML processor,
and thus can be picked up by it as an argument. If no processor is
defined, the data is ignored.

Thanks Simon, it works like you pointed out, *but*:

in contrary e.g. to the handling of PIs in DocBook DSSSL styleheets
*and* against my understanding of the definition for PIs, ConTeXt forces
to use a 'data' field in PIs (like <?line-break true?>) though
<?line-break?> alone should be sufficient. ConText stops processing the
current element content in the last case.

Or do I still miss something.

There is a strong tendency to view PI as <?pi-name pi-data?>. See e.g.
the xml-stylesheet PI specification
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-stylesheet). This is not supported by any
specification. <?line-break?> is a perfectly legal PI. Perhaps Hans
can take this into account in the scanning of PIs.

This would be good, but does not have high priority for me.
