Here's the (complete) code: \startbuffer[test] <text> <p class="incipit">Dear list,</p> <p class="dopo-incipit">this paragraph should not be indented, because it follows the “incipit” of the letter.</p> <p>This one and the following ones should be indented.</p> <p>You may question whether “Dear list,” should be a paragraph of his own, but my text is already formatted like that and I can’t do anything about it.</p> </text> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:somesetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text}{xml:text} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p}{xml:p} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p[@class='incipit']}{xml:p:noindent} % the following lpath expression does not work % \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p[reverse-sibling::p[1]/attribute('class') == 'incipit']}{xml:p:noindent} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:somesetups} \startxmlsetups xml:text \indenting[{yes,first,12pt}] \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \doif{\xmlattribute{#1}{reverse-sibling::p[1]}{class}}{incipit}{\noindent} \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p:noindent \noindent\xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext It's the example of the original message of this thread, with the modifications posted in the second message. In the \startxmlsetups section I tried to put that condition in a \xmlsetsetup, but I commented it out because it did not work. Here's where I found an example with reverse-sibling: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg77364.html I was searching for "sibling" in the mailing list archive to see whether "sibling expressions" had been implemented.

"reverse-sibling" is ConTeXt specific and very useful: it's a "reversed preceding-sibling", so that you find the nearest sibling at index [1]. I've used it successfully in a \doif statement, but I failed in translating it in a \xmlsetsetup statement, to tell ConTeXt: "this setup is for an element p whose nearest preceding sibling p has class 'incipit'".
In that case, why don't you show the code where you've used it successfully and maybe we can take it from there.
