But my unerstanding is that the mapping technique does not take care of
white space. So if I have:
<p>Some paragrah in XmL
with
space
</p>
This could get converted as:
Some paragrah in XmL
with
space
\par
Which would produce 3 paragrahs.
There is actually a nice small tool TeXML (at sourceforge) that takes
care of this problem. It allows you to use an XML to issue TeX commands,
and then converts those commands into TeX (or LaTeX or ConText). It
takes care of white space.
I am one of those people who likes to stick to XML tools, who likes to
convert a tree to a tree. I was wondering the best way to do this. It
seems that using TeXML is the best way. I just wanted to make sure there
was not a more direct way in ConTeXt.
