Re: [NTG-context] Xml filtering in Lua

      Hi Duncan,

Thank you for pointing this out! I knew this was true inside the xmlns namespace, so you can’t have identical xml:id tags, but you’re probably right that it’s better to avoid this confusion altogether. Alas, this doesn’t help with my problem. Since there was a type in my minimal example from my experimentations, I include a corrected version, avoiding the identical tags

All best

Thomas

I'm not sure about the code, sorry, but I do know that an XML document can't have two IDs of the same value. Typically you would use a linkend attribute on the element which is referencing an id (in this case the topics, I think).
Probably doesn't help with your problem, but it's likely a prerequisite for it to work.
Bests,
Duncan
