I am looking at composing using XML as input. We have used classic mode for many years so I am familiar with XPP.
In classic mode I can store text by putting a <px;;#> in the Prestring and <pa> in the Poststring. I have no idea how to do a similar thing in XML mode.
This is a simple example of my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<library state="PA">
<books>
<book>
<title isbn="0-688-15428-X">Gung Ho!</title>
<authors>
<author>
<name>
<first-name>Ken</first-name>
<last-name>Blanchard</last-name>
</name>
</author>
<author>
<name>
<first-name>Sheldon</first-name>
<last-name>Bowles</last-name>
</name>
</author>
</authors>
<publisher>
<name>
<corporation>William Morrow and Company, Inc.</corporation>
</name>
<address>
<state>New York</state>
</address>
</publisher>
</book>
</books>
</library>
What I want to do is to store the “isbn” attribute value in a frill register to be used in a running header.
It must be easy but I just can’t find it in the documentation.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
