[Babeldoc-devel] Simple Question

[<ek...@ba...>]

Also, when/where would I want to use "Options" from the PipelineStage?

I guess I need to know the usage, source, and differences between:
-- PipelineStage Options
-- PipelineStage AdditionalInfo
-- PipelineDocument get( ) methods
-- PipelineStageResult array from PipelineStage.process( ) method

as well as how to get at the information from the input to babeldoc (my 
XML and specific tags within it, for example)

Thanks.  Good night.

This might sound simple to you, but I am trying to do something basic and 
want to verify.

My input to babeldoc is an XML string.  I want to be able to reference 
tags from the XML String from within the stages of the pipeline.  One of 
my PipelineStages is the Script stage (I am using Jython).  I want to 
reference some of the XML tags from within the script but have had no luck 
using document.get(<tagName>).

A few questions:
1. Should I be using the XPath Pipeline Stage to extract the wanted tags 
and use document.put(<tagName>,<tagValue>) so that my later Script stage 
can use document.get(<tagName)?
2. If so, where would I find some decent documentation/examples for coding 
XPath?
3. Should I use the Enrich Pipeline Stage instead?
4. Is there a better way to do this than my above approach?

Thanks in advance.
