Dirk, Thanks for your reply. Here's a simple example. When I run this query with Saxon HE 9.6, the output contains a CDATA section, but when I run it in the BaseX GUI, there is no CDATA and the angle brackets are escaped. Has this serialization parameter been implemented in BaseX?
xquery version "3.0"; declare copy-namespaces no-preserve, no-inherit; declare default element namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; declare namespace output = "http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization "; declare option output:method "xhtml"; declare option output:indent "yes"; declare option output:encoding "utf-8"; declare option output:cdata-section-elements "script"; let $turtle := <turtle> <![CDATA[ @prefix ex: <http://example.org/> . @prefix test: <http://test.org/> . ex:test1 a test:Test . ]]> </turtle> let $html := <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/> <title>Turtle Test</title> </head> <body> <h1>Turtle Test</h1> <script type="text/turtle">{ $turtle/text() }</script> </body> </html> return $html Saxon output: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Turtle Test</title> </head> <body> <h1>Turtle Test</h1> <script type="text/turtle"><![CDATA[ @prefix ex: <http://example.org/> . @prefix test: <http://test.org/> . ex:test1 a test:Test . ]]></script> </body> </html> BaseX output: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Turtle Test</title> </head> <body> <h1>Turtle Test</h1> <script type="text/turtle"> @prefix ex: <http://example.org/> . @prefix test: <http://test.org/> . ex:test1 a test:Test . </script> </body> </html> -- Tim A.
