[NTG-context] Re: more register questions!

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Hi Massi,

yes, that was a very good idea! I can detect if the element <indexentry> 
occurs within a footnote by testing

\xmldoiftext {#1} {ancestor::footnote}

and then apply a processor to these entries. That would be a good 
solution for the time being.

Thanks and all best

Thomas
