[NTG-context] Sanitize in XML/XHTML documents
Hi,
I hope I don't just overlook some plain obvious solution, but a longer search
in the Wiki and the mailing list (and the context source) didn't come up with
anything too useful
Anyway: is there any mechanism that I can use to "fix" quotations while
typesetting XML documents?
Pandoc produces some text. In TeX I would usually use
\quotation{some text} to have proper, language dependent quotes.
I tried to intercept using \xmltexentity{quot}{...} but apparently the
internal replacement takes precedence here. Otherwise I would have tried to
build some small state machine which remembers if it is currently inside a
quotation of not.
My next try would be to somehow intercept the XML stream (or flush) using lua
and replace " ... " inline. However that all seems quite hacky.
So, does ConTeXt currently offer anything I can piggyback to get quotations set
properly? :-)
Best regards,
Andreas

Are you sure that Pandoc can produce only? Have you tried the
--html-q-tags option?

To me that looks like a pandoc bug: how is a backend supposed to deal
with left/right quotation marks?

quot lt gt amp are kind of system entities so not to be messed with
you could do a replacement: -> and then
\xmltexentity{myquot}{?} or \xmlsetentity{myquot}{?} depending on what
gets done
My next try would be to somehow intercept the XML stream (or flush) using lua and replace
" ... " inline. However that all seems quite hacky.
even then you can have issues: what if you have nested and/or unbalanced
quotes ...

Yes, that did the trick. I completely overlooked that option.
Thank you very much for that info! Now I can properly do quotes with an
xmlsetup.
Best regards,

Pandoc allows to replace quotes with "smart punctuation". That would
cause "..." to be replaced by “...”. That way I can at least safely
determine start and end, thereby replacing “ with \quotation\bgroup and
” with \egroup. I'm aware that there might still be cases where this
goes wrong, but it should be much more rare then :-)
So I guess my lua based search and replace (combined with said "smart
punctuation") could be my best bet at the moment. If any other ideas pop
up, I'm happy to hear them, though :-)
Thanks for your quick response!
Best regards,
Andreas
