After doing some research, I stumbled upon saxon-lint (https://github.com/sputnick-dev/saxon-lint), a perl program capable of using xpath3 expressions. In the crudest form possible: !# /bin/bash for ELM in `saxon-lint.pl --xpath "distinct-values(//*/name())" file.xml` do echo -e "\\startxmlsetups xml:$ELM \n\t \\xmlflush{#1} \n \\stopxmlsetups" done I still need to write $ELM into an array to make it do the following: \startxmlsetups xml:blank:map % xml:[filename] would be also fine \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {xml:elements:from:the:variable:elm} % list the results from saxon-lint {xml:*} \stopxmlsetups That would give me the "blank" mapping file I want, saving me the trouble of typing out the whole thing every time.

Reading the docbook thread earlier today reminded me to ask this:
Is there any feature or script that anyone can share that will read in an XML document and spit out a blank mapping file?
what is a blank mapping file
Just guessing (or that would be useful for me too), a file with the following scheme:
\startxmlsetups xml:blank:map % xml:[filename] would be also fine \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {xml:elements} % all elements used in document listed here {xml:*}
\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {h2[contains(@class,'author')]} % list also all elements {xml:title:author} % with attributes \stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:pandoc}
\startxmlsetups xml:elements % basic configuration for elements \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:title:author % basic configuration for attributes \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups
I guess that the usefulness of this is not the actual configuration, but to know what you have to configure.
I hope it helps,
