Deshbir, All you have to do is select the relevant nodes, using XPath, from $xmlNode1, for inclusion in $xmlNode2. I think this will give you what you're asking for:
let $xmlNode1 :=
<chapters-source>
<chapter>Chapter 1</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 2</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 3</chapter>
</chapters-source>
let $xmlNode2 :=
<chapters-destination>
<chapter>Source Chapter 1</chapter>
<chapter>Source Chapter 2</chapter>
<chapter>Source Chapter 3</chapter>
{$xmlNode1/chapter}
</chapters-destination>
return $xmlNode2
Hope this helps.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] XQUERY question - Inserting nodes in memory
Hello All,
Could someone advise on the XQUERY syntax for inserting multiple nodes from
one XQUERY variable into another. Following is a sample code depicting the
problem.
#############################
let $xmlNode1 :=
<chapters-source>
<chapter>Chapter 1</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 2</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 3</chapter>
..
..
..
</chapters-source>
let $xmlNode2 :=
<chapters-destination>
<chapter>Source Chapter 1</chapter>
<chapter>Source Chapter 2</chapter>
<chapter>Source Chapter 3</chapter>
</chapters-destination>
.
.
##########################################################
All the <chapter> nodes that exist in $xmlNode1 need to be inserted into
$xmlNode2 i.e. $xmlNode2 should end up as:
<chapters-destination>
<chapter>Source Chapter 1</chapter>
<chapter>Source Chapter 2</chapter>
<chapter>Source Chapter 3</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 1</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 2</chapter>
<chapter>Chapter 3</chapter>
..
..
..
</chapters-destination>
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Deshbir
