I don't quite follow your second suggestion but I think it assumes a List
containing all elements anywhere in the tree? In the document you describe
the doc.content() will be a list of one element (<root>)

Sorry, the first line should be

/* this would be the equivalent of slowly using DocumentFactory.createElement() to create "foo" and then "bar" */
Element whatever = DocumentHelper.makeElement("foo/bar");

and the last line should be

parent.content().add(pos, whatever);

Hope that it makes sense now, Han Ming

There's a helper method available for this.

Document doc = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
Element page1 = DocumentHelper.makeElement("/root/pages/page1");

Sorry for the nitpick but I suppose you meant

Element page1 = DocumentHelper.makeElement(doc, "/root/pages/page1");

right?

It would be super cool if you can do something like the following
though:

Element page1 = DocumentHelper.makeElement("/root/pages/page1");

Element parent = ...
int pos = ... // get pos from convoluted algorithm somewhere
parent.content().add(pos, page1);

In this case, I can still use XPath to create element and have the
liberty to insert it anywhere.

Thanks for the good work, Han Ming
