processing xml

processing xml

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I have a document converted from rtf to xml that I'd like to attempt
to typeset using Context.

As a starting point I tried to follow the procedure in a document from
the wiki: mag-0008-1.pdf "Dealing with XML".  Having copied the first
example document and stylesheet from that article and generated
sample-1.fx, I run:

texexec --pdf --use=fx --xml sample-1.fx

but it ends with:

(/usr/local/context_minimal/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex
(/usr/local/context_minimal/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkii))
specials        : fdf loaded
)
specials        : fdf,tpd loaded
system          : module fx not found
)
systems         : system commands are enabled
)
*

I installed the minimal today from the wiki to be up to date before
posting.

Probably something has changed in the four years since mag-0008-1.pdf
was written.  If some kind soul would point me in the right direction
I'll be very grateful.

Roger

Hi Roger,

take a look into the XML manual, the magazine is a little bit special and
not the best starting point.

Thank you _very_ much.  That was just what I needed: to quote the
example I just ran: "What a happy end to a small story!".  Context is
pretty amazing.

Cheers,
Roger
