I think this is exactly the approach I’m looking for: collecting everything in Lua tables and then retrieving and typesetting it later. I’m experimenting with it right now. I will have to define a proper lxml.command for every xml tag, I guess; otherwise, the xml gets serialized? I’ll play some more and will certainly be back with questions :-) Thank you, as always, and all best Thomas
