how to get at the XML within the XML? - BaseX-Talk - mailman.uni-konstanz.de

7 Dec 2011


      I triggered a bug.
make
basex -q 'declare option output:cdata-section-elements "desc M";document{(doc("AMFMXTaiwan.gpx")//*:wpt[1]/*:desc/data())}'
Potential bug? Improper use? Your feedback is welcome:

causes a similar bug. Input was http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/images/radioscanningtw/maps/AMFMXTaiwan.g...
All I was trying to do was figure out some way to do like
fn-bea:inlinedXML  Parses textual XML and returns an instance of the XQuery  1.0 Data Model.
without having to say goodbye to basex.
You see I'm trying to figure how to get a inner shred of XML,
<description><![CDATA[<ul><li>復興廣播電台...</li><li>台北市士...</li><li>丙</li></ul>]]></description>
parsed just like the enclosing file. Maybe I need some "util:eval()".
You see I want to access the inner elements with //li[2] etc. instead of
matches(*:desc,concat('/li><li>(',$x,')')) like a dweeb. Help.
