xml processing in lua

26 Sep 2011

      Hi all,

after boring people with xml processing in TeX at the meeting in 
Bassenge, I'm looking for new challenges and am trying my hand at 
processing xml in lua. But so far, even the simplest things escape me. 
Here's an example:

\startbuffer[test]
<a>
   <b>One</b>
   <c>Two</c>
</a>
\stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:setups
	\xmlsetsetup{main}{a|b|c}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:setups}

% \startxmlsetups xml:a
% 	\xmltext{#1}{/c}
% \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:a
\startluacode
   context(xml.text("#1", "/b"))
\stopluacode
\stopxmlsetups

\starttext
\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{}
\stoptext

 From what I thought I understood from the source, I believed that ll. 
14-16 (the commented part) and ll. 18-22 should be exactly equivalent, 
but that's not the case. A little hint might get me started...

All best, and thanks

Thomas
