Ok, let's recap. Here's the code you quoted:
x2jDefn_nifxml_ 1 : 0 for_i. <;._2 (0 : 0) do. 'nm df'=. ':=' splitstring >{.'NB.' splitstring >i 'mn dy'=. dltb each 2 {. ' : ' splitstring df nm=. dltb nm if. 0=#dy do. nm x2jChar (3 : mn) elseif. 0=#mn do. nm x2jElm (4 : dy) elseif. do. nm x2jElm (3 : (mn;':';dy)) end. end. i.0 0 ) 'Items'x2jDefn_nifxml_ / := Result : Result=: '' compound := cEnd y : x cStart y add := aEnd y : x aStart y add := aChr y ) The consequence of executing this code is something like this: '/' x2jElm (3 : 0) Result : Result=: '' ) 'compound' x2jElm (3 :0) cEnd y : x cStart y ) 'add' x2jElm (3 :0) aEnd y : x aStart y ) 'add' x2jChar (3 :0) aChr y ) Put differently, the x2jElm code runs for the specified elements. The monadic definition runs for the close of the element and the dyadic definition runs for the opening element. The '/' gives basically the same effect as a startDocument/endDocument pair. Meanwhile, the x2jChar code gets the characters inside the element (inside the <add> element, in this case). Does that help? Or am I missing your question?
