Hi, I'm generating some code that looks like the snippet below. Embedded within the html are some <xref> elements. I want to expand each one according to the corresponding property of the defs object.
My naive attempt is as follows function expand_refs () { $("xref").each(function (i) { $(this).replaceWith(defs[$(this).attr("ref")]); }); } ...but this only replaces the first level (i.e. it doesn't expand the "D2488" xref). Can anyone help out?
