Hi Denis,
Many thanks for your message and for the example you shared.
You are absolutely right to ask why I used\xmlload and targeted
extraction in my first attempts. My initial goal was simply to build a
small pedagogical demonstration for a French Wikibook on ConTeXt (a
chapter on TEI-XML approach with ConTeXt). I therefore started with a
more “manual” and imperative style, to make clear what happens at each
step and to keep the entry point as simple as possible for beginners.
Your example, which follows the declarative mapping approach provided by
ConTeXt’s XML interface, is indeed much closer to what I ultimately need
for larger or more realistic TEI samples. It is also more idiomatic
ConTeXt and definitely better suited for users who want to structure a
whole document rather than extract small pieces of XML.
I’ll therefore integrate your approach in the didactic material, after
the minimal introductory example.
Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction !
Best ,
Jean-Pierre

Hi Jean-Pierre,
Why do you use \xmlload etc? Perhaps you could tell us a bit more
about your use case?
In any case, I'd use the example in the mkiv-xml as a starting point
and adapt that (example below). You can see that this works in a
declerative way. You essentially map source nodes to the target
document rather than rebuilding the document manually in tex and
pulling data in where needed as in your example (obviously, there are
situations where you might want to do that, but I don't know if TEI
processing is a good use case for that).
Best,
Denis

*Betreff:* [NTG-context] Re: XML/TEI parsing issue in LMTX: lxp.lom
not found (small test case)
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’?
Thank you very much,
JP

I fellows (and Hraban) !
I looked into how to use only the XML embedded by ConTeXt. And I
found the solution for a simple (and functional) MWE. Now I just
need to apply the principle to a slightly more complex example.
Here are the two files used to display the plain text, its
translation, and the footnote.
1. the xml file 'cicero-sample-tei.xml' :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEI>
<text>
<body>
<div type="edition" xml:lang=" <xml:lang=>la">
<head>Exemplum Ciceronis</head>
<p>
<persName>Marcus Tullius Cicero</persName>
in
<placeName>Arpino</placeName>
natus est.
<note>Simple note.</note>
</p>
</div>
<div type="translation" xml:lang=" <xml:lang=>fr">
<head>Traduction française</head>
<p>Cicéron naquit à Arpinum.</p>
</div>
</body>
</text>
</TEI>
2. The ConTeXt file, cicero-tei-setup.tex
% cicero-tei-setup.tex
\setuppapersize[A5]
\setupbodyfont[latin-modern]
% Load the TEI xml file
\xmlload{cicero}{cicero-sample-tei.xml}{}
\starttext
% 1. Title of edition (head of the "edition" part)
\chapter{\xmltext{cicero}{/TEI/text/body/div[@type='edition']/head}}
% 2. Paragraphe latin, with manual configuration
%
% <persName> -> petites capitales
% <placeName> -> italique
% <note> -> note de bas de page
%
\sc{\xmltext{cicero}{/TEI/text/body/div[@type='edition']/p/persName}}
\space in
\em{\xmltext{cicero}{/TEI/text/body/div[@type='edition']/p/placeName}}
\space natus est.\footnote{%
\xmltext{cicero}{/TEI/text/body/div[@type='edition']/p/note}%
}
\blank[2*big]
% 3. Translation tiltle
\subject{\xmltext{cicero}{/TEI/text/body/div[@type='translation']/head}}
% 4. Translation Paragraph
\xmltext{cicero}{/TEI/text/body/div[@type='translation']/p}
\stoptext
I'm trying to develop some documentation on processing
multilingual texts with XML-TEI... I hope I'll get somewhere!

When ConTeXt can’t find your lua library, everything else
makes no sense to share (while I find your project interesting).
Where is this file? Why do you think ConTeXt should be able to
find it without a path?
If it’s within one of the texmf trees, did you run "mtxrun
--generate"?
Mayybe try to delete the caches – in case you installed
ConTeXt (or TeX live) as root/Administrator, there might be a
conflict with user caches.
