[basex-talk] dynamic number of attributes

[Erol Akarsu]

I would like to create an xml element that will have dynamic number of
attributes, something like this where n will change and $value_1 to
$value_2 will be provided by outside

element book {
 attribute isbn_1 {$value_1}
attribute isbn_2 {$value_2}
attribute isbn_3 {$value_3}
.
.
.
attribute isbn_n {$value_n}
}

Can we do it?

Thanks

 Hi Erol,

 Yes, you can.

 Something like the following should work:

 element book {
   for $i in 1 to $n
   return attribute {isbn_ || $i} {get-value($i)}
 }

 Cheers,
 Dirk
