Hans,
Thank you for your clarification ! Just to answer your question:
'lxp.lom' is not something specific to ConTeXt — it comes from LuaExpat,
a very common XML parser used in many Lua examples and libraries. When
writing a small didactic TEI-demo in MkIV (my purpose is to document
ConTeXt Garden and some pages on TEI-XML for a Wikibook in French, which
I'm currently writing), I instinctively used it because it provides a
very simple Lua object model (tag attr, array-like children) , which is
handy for beginners experimenting with XML in Lua.
I lately understand that ConTeXt aims to remain completely
self-contained, and that the internal XML machinery should be preferred.
The failure occurred simply because 'lxp.lom' is not part of the
standalone environment, both in MkIV and in LMTX.
No problem at all: I will rewrite the TEI example using ConTeXt’s native
XML interface(\xmlload, xml-first, xml-text, etc.). This will make it
fully portable across both MkIV and LMTX.
Thanks again !
JP

Hi ConTeXters !
I reply to myself regarding the issue of compiling tex-xml-tei files.
ConTeXt was complaining that it could not find the ‘lxp.lom’ module,
which is actually a Lua module... The reason was that I was compiling
with LMTX and not with MKIV. All I had to do was run the command:
context --luatex myfile.tex and the complaint disappeared. I would
like to take this opportunity to ask Hans: is it a scientific and
demonstrable fact that the implementation of Luatex in ConTeXt-LMTX
left out this ‘lpx.lom’?
mkxl (lmtx) and mkiv have theit own cache and therefore their own
database
I have no clue what lpx.lom is but do you need something that is not
already in context xml support? (We try tbe self-contained.)
