I sent this a few days ago, but it has not appeared in the archive yet, so I am sending it again. My apologies if you have already received this. -----Forwarded Message----- From: Jim Garrison <gar...@ca...> To: lib...@li... Subject: Propose Document::create_root_node_by_import () Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 22:21:16 -0500 Hello, I would like to propose the addition of a function to xmlpp::Document. Right now, one can only create a root node with the given function create_root_node(), and then manipulate that Node. My proposed function (something like Document::create_root_node_by_import) would take a Node from an existing Document and import it in the spirit of Node::import_node(). So basicly, this adds the import functionality so that an entire document can be created from a arbitrary Node in a different document. The biggest reason I need to do this is so that I can create a string that holds all the XML within a certain node. If there's a better way to do this, please let me know. If not, would this type of patch be accepted? If so, would it be able to go in the 1.0 branch? I don't think it would break anything in terms of the ABI. Please let me know.
