Hello!

Processing XML I want to manipulate content of XML elements inside Lua.

I can define the Lua function xml.functions.name <http://xml.functions.name>(t), where processing happens, and use the command \xmlfunction{#1}{name} to pass the current node #1from ctx to lua as described in the xml-mkiv.pdf manual. To access the element content xml.text(t,"/element") Lua function is used.

However, using the same function xml.text("#1",/element) directly inside Lua doesn't work for me. Node #1 is available, but not the content of /element.

In your lua fragment, node #1 is available as "xml:name::4" or "xml:name::6", but not as a lua table.

When node #1 is passed to a \xmlfunction, the function gets a lua table as argument.

To write direct lua code instead of a xmlfunction you'd need a function to transform those "xml:name::..." into the lua tables representing the xml elements in the xml tree.

Which is what \xmlfunction does, so I wouldn't expect any performance gain.
