Hi,<div><br></div><div>I am using BaseX 6.5. I am trying to transform a given node using an XQuery. <br><div><br></div><div>Say, I have an node like so:</div><div><br></div><div><div>&lt;entry xmlns=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom</a>&quot; xmlns:libx=&quot;<a href="http://libx.org/xml/libx2">http://libx.org/xml/libx2</a>&quot;&gt;</div>

<div>  &lt;id&gt;1&lt;/id&gt;</div><div>  &lt;title&gt;Link Amazon By ISBN&lt;/title&gt;</div><div>  &lt;updated&gt;2010-09-29T18:37:48.592Z&lt;/updated&gt;</div><div>  &lt;author&gt;</div><div>    &lt;name&gt;LibX Team&lt;/name&gt;</div>

<div>    &lt;uri&gt;<a href="http://libx.org">http://libx.org</a>&lt;/uri&gt;</div><div>    &lt;email&gt;<a href="http://libx.org">libx.org</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>&lt;/email&gt;</div><div>  &lt;/author&gt;</div>

<div>  &lt;content type=&quot;html&quot;&gt;Content created by LibX Libapp Builder&lt;/content&gt;</div><div>&lt;/entry&gt;</div></div><div><br></div><div>I am trying to send this node to an xquery which is expected to do the following actions:</div>

<div><ul><li>create a copy of this node (so that the actual node in the database does not change), </li><li>transform/modify the duplicate copy of the given node </li><li>return the modified duplicate copy of the given node</li>

</ul><div>I would expect the output to be like so:</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>&lt;entry xmlns=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom</a>&quot; xmlns:libx=&quot;<a href="http://libx.org/xml/libx2">http://libx.org/xml/libx2</a>&quot;&gt;</div>

<div>    &lt;uri&gt;<a href="http://libx.org">http://libx.org</a>&lt;/uri&gt;</div><div>    &lt;email&gt;<a href="http://libx.org">libx.org</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>&lt;/email&gt;</div><div>  &lt;/author&gt;</div>

<div>  &lt;content type=&quot;html&quot;&gt;<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#FF0000"><b>Copy of</b>:</font> Content created by LibX Libapp Builder&lt;/content&gt;</div><div>&lt;/entry&gt;</div></div><div><br></div>
<div>
I tried to perform the non-updating functions using transform and also tried to use a pending update list (Reference: <a href="http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Update#transform">http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Update#transform</a>). None of this works as expected. Could you refer me to a more detailed documentation for performing such transform operations on nodes ?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Sony</div><div><br></div></div>
