Lpath supports CSS selectors between curly braces as parts, so simply:

\xmlsetsetup{#1}{{h3 + blockquote}/../h3} {xml:section}

Taco, I knew that, but I wasn’t sure how to mix both. I’d say yesterday I tried something similar to: \xmlsetsetup{#1}{{h3 + blockquote}../h3} {xml:section} Which, of course, couldn’t work.

The xml-mkiv.pdf manual has lots of other lpath examples as well.

I know, I have read them many times. And I read them from time to time. But I’m not smart enough to understand them. BTW, is there any way to rephrase "{h3 + blockquote}" in proper Lua? Something like "/h3/../!p/../blockquote" selected both "h3 + p" (which I didn’t want and "h3 + blockquote" (the one intended). Many thanks for your help, Pablo
