I'm not sure what this means exactly, but if there is an equivalent in
It means that you search something before you. A use case used in the
toc is to search the HeaderBlock associated to the section in which
the toc is located, the HeaderBlock could be a sibling of the toc
macro itself or a sibling of one of the toc macro parents.
It's almost the same thing than "preceding" in XPATH and except that
it does not search in previous children. Not sure if i should change
it to be XPATH "preceding" or have both (since "preceding" could
potentially cost a lot more).
the xPath axes, we could use it. In any case, to find
a name with one
word, if there's not, I'm gonna start doubting that we need it :) or
that anyone but us will understand what it does. I think it might be the
PRECEDING xpath axis, but I am not sure.

same as in the previous case.
We could add ANCESTOR.
Yes I plan to put all XPATH axis that make sense in XDOM.
}
[...]
List<Block> getBlocks(BlockMatcher matcher, TraversalStrategy
traversalStrategy, boolean recurse);
Block getFirstBlock(BlockMatcher matcher, TraversalStrategy
traversalStrategy, boolean recurse);
}
interface BlockMatcher
{
boolean match(Block block);
}
et on refactor tous les autres get*Block basé sur ceux la avec des
BlockMatcher prédéfinis (ClassBlockMatcher, MetaDataBlockMatcher,
etc...).
Note: the main use case for this change is to support MetaData search.
WDYT (especially on the vocabulary like "TraversalStrategy") ?
XPath calls these "axes",
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#axes .
We could stick to the same naming, since it's well known in the tree
document model world.
Otherwise I guess I agree with the change, although any generification
and abstractization of the current already abstract model scares me.
Thanks,
Anca
