XQuery/Extracting data from XHTML files
< XQuery
Motivation
[edit | edit source]To perform an XQuery on XHTML files that use the XHTML namespace.
Method
[edit | edit source]We will start our XQuery by adding the default namespace for XHTML.
declare default element namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
Sample Source Code
[edit | edit source]Assume that you have an well-formed XHTML file in the file /db/text/index.xhtml
xquery version "1.0";
declare default element namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
declare option exist:serialize "method=html media-type=text/html indent=yes";
let $doc := doc('/db/test/index.xhtml')
let $body := $doc/html/body/*
return
<html>
<head>
<title>Replace Head</title>
</head>
<body>
{$body}
</body>
</html>
