Ben,

Apologies - I think I misread your email (and let some things I was thinking of steer the linking!).

For an XQuery module; e.g. utilities.xqm ``` xquery version "3.1"; module namespace utils = "http://canofbees.org/ns/xquery/utilities";

declare function utils:atty( $att as attribute() ) as xs:string* { "[@" || name($att) || "='" || data($att) || "']" };

declare function utils:pathing( $result as xs:string, $node as node() ) { concat( $result, "/"[$result], name($node), $node/@* ! utils:atty(.) => string-join("") ) };

declare function utils:build-path( $nodes as node()* ) as xs:string* { distinct-values( $nodes//* ! fold-left(ancestor-or-self::*, '', utils:pathing(?, ?)) ) }; ```

and is called from an XQuery by: ``` xquery version "3.1"; import module namespace utils = "http://canofbees.org/ns/xquery/utilities"; declare variable $input := <t> <a>one</a> <b i="two"/> </t>;

utils:build-path($input) ```

I have this particular module installed in my $BASEX/repo directory - more on that in the packaging link from earlier. Hope that's more helpful :) (and closer to the mark!)

Best, Bridger

Hi,

I know that it is possible to create a module with functions (I have even done that once), but I can't find the documentation anymore on how to do that. Could please someone provide the URL to this information?

Here is the specification: http://expath.org/spec/pkg

and the BaseX-specific documentation: https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Repository

If those aren't the pages you're thinking of, please say! :)

Thanks,
