    <thetext>The equivalence for fn:outermost is very difficult to read because you have a dot followed by a dot in a slightly different  font.

So you do not really know if it should end with /.. or /.

Perhaps put parentheses around the expression</thetext>

    <thetext>Thanks for pointing it out.

This is why, in by book, I used chevrons to separate code samples from narrative text. Shame that we can&apos;t use that solution here. I&apos;ll fix it somehow.</thetext>

    <thetext>I have resolved this by putting the equivalent expression into &lt;eg&gt; markup which should make it appear in a paragraph-level code block.</thetext>
