Denis, Hraban, Hans,

thanks for your comments and suggestions! Yes, the footnotes have page references in the tuc file; Hans even taught me how to access the page number from the Lua end some time ago, so I'm good here! And one thing that I understood reading your comments: it's probably nonsense to save the notes in a separate file; I already have their content, order, and reference ids in the single files. All I have to do is process these a second time, filtering out the notes, and dropping everything else. I'm pretty sure I know how to do this. However, if this is going to work, I will have to remove the first set of setups and reprocess the files with a different one. I assume that this is a case for the likes of \xmlremovesetup (or \xmlresetsetups? or \xmlresetdocumentsetups?) and then create a new one with \startxmlsetups xml:myallnewsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:myallnewsetups}? But I have never used these commands, and there isn't a lot in the mailing archives about them. I'll experiment a bit and will be back with a more precise question.

Thanks everybody, best wishes

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

this is interesting. Fun with references, yeah! ;)

If I understand you correctly, you want to keep the original order of notes and use a footnote marker (number), don’t you?

Otherwise I’d use an index.

Isn’t there a page reference in a note? You probably already checked the tuc file?
