I would ask for more stylistic or semantic tagging to be added to the XML
export. A good example is that of bibliographies, where font styles carry
significant semantic meaning (depending on the standard used: italic for book
titles, ibold or talic for volume and issue numbers, and so on.) The xml output
reflects none of this.
I do not know whether one would want stylistic tagging (italic, bold, ...) or
semantic (booktitle, issue number). In either case, they could be implemented
as highlights or tagged elements, both of which are currently carried through,
and the user could then apply the appropriate styling with css or other
transformation mechanisms.
Generally, you get stylistic tagging by using \definehighlight.
I replaced \em and \bf by \emph{} and \strong{} in my projects.
Didn’t try real bibliographies or xml input yet, but I guess you can change the
setup to use those.
\definehighlight does not (by default) nest. You can handle this to some
degree in css or xslt for XML exports, but it is not an acceptable
replacement for font switches with pdf output. And since the syntax for
highlights ( \highlight{text} ) differs from that for font switches (
{\highlight text} ), it is not simply a matter of different environments
for each output format, although perhaps \groupedcommand might help (I
have not tried this).
But that is in some ways beside the point. A user should not have to
find and modify every instance in the source where such setups occur.
When exports or tagging are enabled, it would be good if this were
automatically done.
