Re: Re: Efficiency, use param in key?

Dimitre:

Thanks for your time and suggestions - I've been subscribed to and
following this for a couple of years and find it among the best I've ever
seen! I rarely post because I try to RTFM first, read the great books
written by Jeni and others and use the FAQ and web and find my questions
are nearly always answered.

> 1. Avoid expressions like "//file_audio"

<file_audio> appears in quite a number of different contexts and I expect
those to change over time. So if I don't want to enumerate those contexts
in my stylesheet it seems I am stuck with it. The good news is this would
only be used infrequently as part of an inventory check, to make sure all
needed files are present before publishing a course.

Seems strange to me too! Must be a "think-o" (as opposed to a typo).

Thank you - I understand the limitation now.
