There are 2 ways of approaching this, one is a query returning multiple items that must then be combined somehow outside of the query, or a query that returns a single item. Because you've gone with the former, you've now hit a problem of how those items are being combined. You want newlines, but other people might want something else, like a single space, or no space at all. So the easy way, is to just return a single item using string-join. That said, the code you posted had an output method of html and returned <td> elements... which suggests you just want indent set? -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com _______________________________________________ BaseX-Talk mailing list BaseX-Talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/mailman/listinfo/basex-talk
