All,
Something elementary, I'm sure, that I'm not understanding. I'm trying
to achieve parallel footnotes in arab/english texts, ie. each footnote
in the Arabic text has a corresponding footnote in the English text.
Both should point to the same footnote text. Like this:
<body>
<text>
<div type='arText'>
<lb /> some arab <ref target="#N01">text</ref>
<lb /> more arab <ref target="#N02">text</ref>
</div>
<div type='enText'>
<lb /> some english <ref target="#N01">text</ref>
<lb /> more english <ref target="#N02">text</ref>
</div>
<div type='fnotes'>
<note xml:id="N01">text for note ONE</note>
<note xml:id="N02">text for note TWO</note>
</div>
</text>
</body>
I thought to use TeX's \note[ref], but the following doesn't seem to work.
\startxmlsetups xml:ref
\define\thisRefName{\xmlatt{#1}{target}}
\xmldoifelse{#1}{parent::d...@type='arText']}
{\footnote[\thisRefName]{\xmlfirst{#1}{root::/body/text/d...@type='fnotes']/no...@xml:id==string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{target}',2)]}}}
{\note[\thisRefName]}
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:div:fnotes
\placefootnotes
\stopxmlsetups
I just get ?? for the reference markers in the English text. Any clues
as to what I'm doing wrong; or, is there a better way altogether to
approach this?
Jon
