I was wondering about that as well, and I really had no clue how to do that. Some reading and studying later, I realised that there is a preceding-sibling:: axis.

That is not documented in xml-mkiv.pdf I think, but it inherited from xpath, and that means this works:> \xmlsetsetup{#1}{blockquote/preceding-sibling::h3[-1]/} {xml:section}

“Take all blockquotes, then tests their immediate preceding siblings (index [-1]) that are h3."

Many thanks for your reply, Taco. It isn’t documented, but I have just discovered that it is used inside a function: https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf#search=sibling

But the CSS version is nicer.

I agree. But using CSS for LPaths feels like cheating to me. Many thanks for your help again, Pablo
