Subject: a string xmlpath in Lua
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:15:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1499678130.6292.3.camel@fastwebnet.it> (raw)

Hello list,
is there a Lua function to get the XML path of an element as a string?

\xmlpath typesets the path, I need a similar function for Lua, but the
path should be a string to be worked on in Lua.

This is the problem originating that question: i must name (give an id
to) some anonymous XML elements (read: "without an id attribute"), and
their path is a good candidate.

To be more precise: when i parse a <table> element, i look for elements
representing footnotes, to prepare them with \setnotetext;
then the table contents are parsed and the footnotes' markers are
typeset with \note[footnote_id].
When there are more footnotes, i need to identify them, to give \note
the right footnote id.

Thanks,
Massi
