This spec describes concatenation of node sequences such that they are
parseable as entities. In the case you describe I think that fits well. Atleast in my reading 5 XML Output MethodThis describes serializing a sequence of nodes. I think this spec would fit for your use case.Atleast that is my read, I admit I have a hard time following the reading of this spec (not to blame the authors, I just have a hard time understanding it all) David A.

These templating languages have been very successful. When these templates "execute", they produce an HTML page asanHTTP response. These templating technologies allow you to mix html tags with program logic to create web pages dynamically. These templating languages, as a rule, are text based in that they define a page by concatenating HTML chunks of text together. For example, in a JSP file, sometimes these HTML chunks are literal text and other times they are calculated and "injected inline" into the output - always as text. It should be possible to inject an XDM text serialization (a sequence of <div> tags and children, for instance) as returned by getPipelineSerialization () call in this simple JSP page shown below: <html> <body> <% out.write(getPipelineSerialization("mypipeline")); %> </body> </html> examples of jsps: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/html/jspbasics.fm.html -----Original Message----- From: Jim Tivy [mailto:jimt@bluestream.com] Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 3:12 PM To: 'David A.

We have a pipeline that we execute and the last node is XPath /html/body/* of an upstream html document - we call it html core output. We use this in JSP (java server pages) code where we wish to establish the css files and meta tags butserveup the html content from the pipeline. If you like I can write this up in your wiki.
