Hi all,
I'd like some advise on the best way to approach the result I want. I'm
typesetting a book; the source is in xml, every chapter in its own file.
I want my notes to appear in their own chapter at the end of the book;
the reference (in the margin) should be to the page number where the
paragraph with the note reference is found. For my work with the source
files, I would prefer the notes be included within the respective xml
files.
The solution I have been thinking about: every note has a unique xml:id
attribute, ConTeXt sets a \pagereference with the value of this
attribute and writes the content of all notes to an external file. Then,
I can retrieve the notes from this file and include the page number from
the \pagereference. I'm making some progress here, but am not quite sure
how to use \xmltofile or \xmlsave (or their Lua counterparts lxml.tofile
or xml.save).
I'm also wondering if I'm reinventing the wheel here. Maybe there is an
easier solution because notes can be postponed? I'll be grateful for any
ideas!
All best
Thomas
