All,

Something elementary, I'm sure, that I'm not understanding. I'm trying
to achieve parallel footnotes in arab/english texts, ie. each footnote
in the Arabic text has a corresponding footnote in the English text.
Both should point to the same footnote text. Like this:

<body>
    <text>
        <div type='arText'>
            <lb /> some arab <ref target="#N01">text</ref>
            <lb /> more arab <ref target="#N02">text</ref>
        </div>
        <div type='enText'>
            <lb /> some english <ref target="#N01">text</ref>
            <lb /> more english <ref target="#N02">text</ref>
        </div>
        <div type='fnotes'>
            <note xml:id="N01">text for note ONE</note>
            <note xml:id="N02">text for note TWO</note>
        </div>
    </text>
</body>

I thought to use TeX's \note[ref], but the following doesn't seem to work.

\startxmlsetups xml:ref
    \define\thisRefName{\xmlatt{#1}{target}}
    \xmldoifelse{#1}{parent::div[@type='arText']}
        {\footnote[\thisRefName]{\xmlfirst{#1}{root::/body/text/div[@type='fnotes']/note[@xml:id==string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{target}',2)]}}}
        {\note[\thisRefName]}
    \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:div:fnotes
    \placefootnotes
\stopxmlsetups

I just get ?? for the reference markers in the English text. Any clues
as to what I'm doing wrong; or, is there a better way altogether to
approach this?

Jon
