Hi everyone Just a question I've been thinking about from time to time: What exactly is lpath? Is that ConTeXt-specific? Or something more general from Lua? I've of course asked Google, but Lpath seems to a Python-inspired path library for Lua unrelated to XML... it's a bit like xpath ... a way to access arbitrary nodes in a xml tree with lokup and access 'patterns'

Thanks. That I do know. I was more wondering where that is coming. (My question was probably not that clear.) As I couldn't find more about it I guess it's ConTeXt-specific, not something coming from the Lua ecosystem... Just like Pablo, I'm from time to time reading through the xml-mkiv manual, and I was just wondering if there other places where I can other examples or explanations. (If it were a more general Lua thing for example...) Denis
