My interpretation of the TEI synatx (and I don't think it's clear in the draft) is that a sequence like: is identical to the (meaningful) sequence FOO(1,BAR1)FOO(2,BAR2)FOO(3,BAR3) and the operator is implicit in the shorter form. JUMBO would presently expand your query to: CHILD(2,article)CHILD(3,issue)CHILD(4,year) which would fail for your document. A typical query for me would be CHILD(1,YEAR)(2,ISSUE)(1,ARTICLE) which would be equivalent to ID(FOO) If you want ALL of something, you have to write ALL (the spec is clear on that :-) *** TEI experts/ERB *** please shine some light on this :-) ********* P. -- Peter Murray-Rust, domestic net connection Virtual School of Molecular Sciences http://www.vsms.nottingham.ac.uk/ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
