This is probably easy, but I can’t find an inbuilt method or function to do this easily.

 

I have a function that will return certain nodes from a DB. The DB was built with CHOP off – plenty of white-space present between nodes.

 

declare function dq:errorGivenName($db as xs:string) as element()* {

  db:open(concat($db, '_author))/*/*[matches(givenname, "[^\p{L}\p{M}-[\s-'’‘\.]]")]

};

 

I can’t predict where the function will be called so I’ve got no control over serialization parameters. Instead I’d like to pretty print the XML fragment returned by the function.

 

I could write something to do this, but there must be a simple way … right?
