Re: [Exist-open] path to node

[Chris W. <kit...@gm...>]

This works provided the steps are valid element names:

declare function local:path-to-tree($path) {
    local:steps-to-tree(tokenize($path,"/"))
 };

declare function local:steps-to-tree($steps) {
    if (count($steps) = 0)
    then ()
    else
       element {$steps[1]} {
           local:steps-to-tree(subsequence($steps,2))
    }
};

let $path := request:get-parameter("path",())
return local:path-to-tree($path)
