I would like to make xml-setups for general usage. For example making possible: <dvd> ...... <quote>Q</quote> ..... </dvd> With special setup for dvd: \startxmlsetups xml:case:casesetups % environment definition % ????? \xmlsetsetup{dvd}{*}{-} % ignore all inside <dvd></dvd> not below \xmlsetsetup{dvd}{% % these are not to be ignored dvd|state|datadirectory|....}{xml:case:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:case:casesetups} % register this setup and another one useable for general inclusion: \startxmlsetups xml:common:commonsetups % environment definition \xmlsetsetup{common}{quote|...}{xml:common:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:common:commonsetups} % register this setup As setup above it doesn't seem to work. What is the best route to accomplish the idea? Best would be restricting the nodes in the <dvd>'s to those defined under <dvd> + those in common, exclusively. Hans van der Meer
