Hi Paul,

You are not being specific about *exactly* what you are doing, so it is hard to 
tell for sure what is going on.  My guess, though, is that the namespace being 
used is picked up from your XQuery context.  The following example I think does 
what you are trying to do:

(: create a document :)
xquery version "1.0-ml";
xdmp:document-insert("/test.xml", 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<body><p>some stuff here</p></body>
</html>) ;

(: insert a node after the first xhtml p tag :)
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare namespace xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";;
declare namespace foo="foo";

xdmp:node-insert-after(doc("/test.xml")/xh:html/xh:body/xh:p[1], 
<p xmlns="foo">foo</p>) ;

(: look at that document :)
fn:doc("/test.xml")
(: returns:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
  <body><p>some stuff here</p><p xmlns="foo">foo</p></body>
</html>
:)

Notice that the second p tag is in the "foo" namespace.  Is that what you are 
trying to do?

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] embedded html

Hi:

I have the following html:
this is my <sub>html</sub> snippet

I want to add it to my tag:
<mytag xmlns="mine">
this is my <sub>123</sub> snippet
</mytag>

And then add it to my doc using node-insert
However,  sub html element is now in the wrong namespace. So when I perform the 
following:
*:mytag/node() 

<sub xmlns="mine"> is in the wrong namespace

My best solution is creating an additional tag (note ->block<- level tag)
<mytag xmlns="mine">
<div xmlns="htmlns">
this is my <sub>123</sub> snippet
</div>
</mytag>

and when I want the html, I simply use
*:mytag/*:div/node()

I could also perform a search and replace on every html element before adding 
the snippet (In perl most likely, so regexp)?
this is my <sub xmlns="htmlns">123</sub> snippet

The only other solution I can see is storing the html not as node by as data 
(embedded).  This seems somewhat prone to problems though.

How should this be handled. Best practices?
