Hi Dan,
Insert node attribute Z {'B'} into $c/title should do it.
I recommend [XQuery Update for the impatient] as second reference for XQuery Update facility.

Thanks Arve, but I still have one problem. It turns out I need to do it more than once:
declare option db:parser "html"; declare option db:htmlparser "nodefaults=true"; declare option output:doctype-public "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"; declare option output:doctype-system "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"; copy $c := doc("/dev/stdin") modify ( delete nodes $c//*:span[@class="pipe"],
BUT WAIT, I also want to add ALT tags to all IMG elements.
This turns out to be not a single operation.
insert node attribute alt {'BLA'} into $c//*:img
won't work. So how can I squeeze in a
for $i in $c//*:img return insert node attribute alt {'BLA'} into $i
somewhere in my otherwise working basex 7.8 program?
) return <html> <head> {$c//*:head/*:meta[@http-equiv="Content-Type"]} {$c//*:head/*:base} <style type="text/css">dl {{ border-bottom: thin solid;}}</style> <title>doing - raGii</title> </head> <body> {for $l in $c//*:dl return $l} </body> </html>
