However the LibLouisUTDML documentation on XPATH semantic actions says that you should not rely on xpath expressions being applied in a particular order.
My question was relating to xpath and normal semantic actions, are these reliably applied in a given order or are they potentially unreliable as well?

Michael. I was planning to have Heba fix this as she needs the experience. Maybe John Boyer can check me on this but I believe the first math in the Semantic action file is used so you could just arrange them from more specific to more general to make it simpler. Otherwise then, yes, you'd have to be sure the patterns were not redundant. -----Original Message----- From: liblouis-liblouisxml-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:liblouis-liblouisxml-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Whapples Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 9:55 AM To: liblouis-liblouisxml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] One small question on XPATH Hello, One use for XPATH semantic actions is to treat paragraphs inside lists and tables differently to other paragraphs. I have the xpath expressions for detecting those working fine, but I have a small question relating to it. The xpath expression is something like: //xhtml:li/xhtml:p However the normal semantic action for paragraphs is also defined: para p My question is, should I change the paragraph semantic action file to exclude p elements inside lists? Potentially at the moment these sets could overlap, can I rely on xpath expressions being applied before normal semantic actions?
