Hi again,
now that everybody should be back from DANTE2010, I'll try that one
again:
what is the recommended way of including an xml tree from one file in
another? Right now I'm stuck with the following
[ ... ] snip
Personally, I'd prefer some include method like file entities (<!ENTITY
inc SYSTEM "inc.xml">) but they don't seem to work.
My latest try was \xmlinclude but that didn't work either. When I have
the following setups
\startxmlsetups xml:afile
\section{Filename \xmlatt{#1}{file}}
%\xmlinclude{test} { } {\xmlatt{#1}{file}}
%\xmlinclude{test} {/*} {\xmlatt{#1}{file}}
%\xmlinclude{test} {/sect} {\xmlatt{#1}{file}}
%\xmlinclude{test} {/sect/title} {\xmlatt{#1}{file}}
\xmlinclude{test} {sect} {\xmlatt{#1}{file}}
\stopxmlsetups
Where “test” is the name of the document to be processed and "sect” is
the outermost node from the included file.
This produces nothing, but try uncommenting some lines: context fails
with a lua error. Why this? xml-mkiv says that the second argument to
\xmlinclude should be an lpath from “file” and <sect> is the first node
in the file (I'll attach it).
Is there anybody who could provide a working example of \xmlinclude or
reveal The Right Way of Including XML to me?
I don't pretend to understand all of XML processing, but I believe
\xmlinclude works like this: take the file that is pointed to by
the named attribute #3 from the node pointed to by lpath #2 in
tree #1.
So in this case, you would have \xmlinclude{test}{afile}{file}.
But I have no idea what then happens with the generated tree :-/
To actually make use of inc.xml in the current document, perhaps
\xmlprocessfile is what you are after?
\startxmlsetups xml:afile
\section{Filename \xmlatt{#1}{file}}
\xmlprocessfile {test2} {\xmlatt{#1}{file}} {}
\stopxmlsetups
Best wishes,
Taco
