Re: multiple siblings, using tDOM to generate XML


Hello,

A simple way to generate XML is the following:

proc map { str } {
set mapTEXT2XML [list > "&gt;" < "&lt;" & "&amp;" \" "&quot;" ' "&apos;"]
return [string map $mapTEXT2XML $str]
}


set xml "<a><b>[map $mytext]</b>
<another_tag
>[map $more_text]</another_tag>
</a>"

set doc [dom parse $xml]

The only trick is to leave the newlines either inside the
construction <tag > or between tags that have no additional text.

Regards,


Ramon Ribó

<URL/>
</InformationURL>


...ok, I took the tutorial example and broke it down more step-by-step
and can see that the problem is a lack of newlines? - whatever that
translates into in Tcl. For example:

...a failure [title { } and description { } are on the same line]:
% $root appendFromScript {
channel {
title { } description { }
}
}
Invalid attribute name ' '

...the format that eventually passes:
% $root appendFromScript {
channel {
title { }
description { }
}
}
domNode0x8e678bc

...somehow I can't imagine that I have to insert newlines into a nested
set of these commands, so I would have thought that something like this
would work:
$root appendFromScript { [channel { [title { } ] [ description { } ] }
] }

...doesn't the [ command ] execute the command and return the value?
why the need for newlines?...

Thanks,
-Kevin
