Adding a Processing Instruction to the beginning of every text frame

[JSnewbie]

Hi,

I need to place a processing instruction at the beginning of every text frame. The instruction itself will contain the page number.

I already worked out a script that will bring the instruction into the document as text, but since that causes page reflow, I would rather it come in as an xml marker. (Just as an aside, the script I mentioned goes from the end of the file to the front, to prevent reflow from being an issue on page breaks.)

What is the best way to do that? I do see how to create the instruction itself: but how do I insert it in place?

Something like this?

var myXMLProcessingInstruction = myRootXMLElement.xmlInstructions.add("blah", "blah");

TextList[0].insertionPoints.item(0).contents=myXMLProcessingInstruction;

Thanks in advance.

By Using the below script you can insert tag of start of each and every paragrapgh 

var mydoc = app.activeDocument;

        var myPg = mydoc.pages;
pages[0].textFrames[0].words[0].insertionPoints[0].associatedXMLElements[0].xmlInstructions.add("pageStart", "TextFrameStart");

A different idea would be to add a label with the instructions to a text frame.

textFrame.label = "Processing instructions here."

Using this you would even see the label's contents in the UI when using the Scriptslabel Panel.

The contents of the label could even be a string of ExtendScript code you could execute by using doScript() or eval().

var instructions = textFrame.label;
eval( instructions );
