I'm use the RESTXQ stuff (very nice) to build a little DITA link management application. In the service of this I need to sometimes show the raw XML source of the docs in the repo.
I looked at the DBA Web app and it looks like it's using some Javascript for this and I didn't see any obvious solution in the various BaseX packages, but I could have missed something.
I hacked a quick little typeswitch transform just to get something but it doesn't preserve newlines from the source XML (but I notice the DBA Web app does, so they must be preserved under the covers).
Is there a built-in way to generate escaped XML for use in e.g., HTML <pre> or is there some silly thing I need to do in my typeswitch to make sure the newlines make it to the HTML result?
Thanks,
Eliot

Did you e.g. try to embed the results of file:read-text() or fn:unparsed-text() ?
But I may have got wrong what you are trying to do. I am not sure what part of the DBA you are talking about.. Do you refer to the result view of the query panel? Maybe you need to specify different serialization parameters (i.e., a different output method) as described in our Wiki.

I'm doing this in the context of a RESTXQ function that returns an HTML page (that is, I'm reflecting the XML as part of a larger HTML result that I'm synthesizing:
<div class="result"> { let $map := dftest:testResolveTopicOrMapUri($repo, $branch) return dftest:xmlToHtmlCode($map)
} </div>
where dftest:xmlToHtmlCode() is:
declare function dftest:xmlToHtmlCode($nodes as node()*) as node()* { <pre>{ for $node in $nodes return dftest:nodeToHtml($node) }</pre> };
That is, I just want to format the XML markup within a <pre> element.
The result could be arbitrary XML elements, not necessarily a complete document.
Cheers,
E.

declare function dftest:xmlToHtmlCode($nodes as node()*) as node()* {
<pre>{ for $node in $nodes return dftest:nodeToHtml($node) }</pre>
};
You could serialize the nodes...
let $input := <x/> return <pre>{ serialize($input) }</pre>
...or directly retrieve them from a file:
let $input := fn:unparsed-text(...) return <pre>{ $input }</pre>
let $text := '<x/>' return <pre>{ $text }</pre>
I see.. This won't work, because the children of the pre node

serialize() does just what I want:
<pre> { let $map := dftest:testResolveTopicOrMapUri($repo, $branch)
return serialize($map)
} </pre>
