Having a series of nodes in setups in a helper module: \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:setups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{error|comment|... etcetera}{xmlcommon:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xmlcommon:setups} I would like to check if a certain node is in that series of nodes. For example doing \doifelse{\xmltag{#1}}... where the true branch is taken when \xmltag{#1} is one of those registered in the xmlcommon:setups. Is that possible? Then what macro has to be called? dr.
