Why is there anexpression error here? I would expect that the expression number(-10000101) evaluates to a negative number taking part in the comparsion. It looks as if the minus sign is not seen as an unary minus, while -10000101 should have be evaluated by Lua's tonumber(-10000101).
relevant code snippet is: \xmlfilter{#1}{lpath[number(@date) <= number(-10000101)]/command(...)
Sorry, Hans, I guess my question will be stupid, but why don’t use "tonumber(-10000101)"? I wouldn’t get it, even with a minimal sample, but xml-mkiv.pdf includes the shortcut for this function. Just in case it might even help ;-), Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
