Hi Joe,
one solution is to use "text" as serialization method:
serialize("<a/>", { 'method': 'text'})
As an alternative, you can specify in the query prolog (the beginning) of your query that all results are to be output as text:
declare option output:method "text";
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________

Hi all,
Is there a way to output unescaped XML to a string for debugging purposes? In unittests we would like to output the XML returned when a test fails, here is my example:
declare %unit:test function elementinfo-test:test-element-info() { let $cases :=
<cases> <case> <comment>Failed input</comment> <input>input</input> <output> <result> output </result> </output> </case> </cases> for $case in $cases/case let $result := {some function which returns XML} let $u := unit:assert(deep-equal($case/output, result), $case/comment/text() || " Input: " || $case/input/text() || " Expected: " || fn:serialize($case/output) || " Got: " || fn:serialize($result)) return $u };
But when a test fails, I get escaped XML as the output. Is there any way to get this as actual XML?
Thanks, Joe
