Introduction

Handling XML in ConTeXt has improved dramatically with the advent of MkIV.

The new Lua–based infrastructure makes typesetting, manipulating, filtering, and reusing XML much much easier than before.

Unfortunately, this means that most of the existing documentation is now obsolete.

In general, old MkII code includes the uppercase XML string in its commands (as in \getXMLcode[name]), while new MkIV code uses lowercase xml (as in \xmlflush{#1}).
