In the processing of xml data path expressions like a/(b|c)/*/d etc. can be used. However, I have a node that can be present inside every node of the tree. One method to collect these all together is bij successive calls: \xmlall{#1}{/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/*/node}, etc. But that fails if the tree is deeper than foreseen. I tried recursive searching within the node-setup-processor by calling \xmlall{#1}{../*/node} but either this fails or I am not doing it the right way. Any ideas? Hans van der Meer
