OK but you'll have to use a command-button executing command putAttribute rather set-attribute-button. We'll enhance the putAttribute command to let it display ``a scrollable box'' for enumerated values, ID, IDREF, IDREFS, etc. Currently this command, which has not really been designed to be used interactively, displays a very simple prompt in all cases. > - the ability to filter the ID elements displayed in the menu (using an > XPath expression or even just an element name)? > > I use ID/IDREF for a variety of different purposes in my documents, and it > would be great to be able to display only the IDs that are actually of > interest in a given context. > > 2 An XXE-CSS command that enabled the display of an element to be > constructed from the result of an XPath expression would be great (one could > then, for example, display the actual title of a cross-referenced section). > I know XXE only implements a subset of XPath, but even a subset would > presumably open up quite a few possibilities... I don't think that the subset of XPath currently implemented in XXE is powerful enough. You could just use it to search an element or an attribute in the *subtree* of the element which is the target of the CSS rule. And for what you want to do, this is not enough.
