[MonetDB-users] Get attribute value as text how?

5 Aug 2009

      The following XQuery fragment will add the speakername attribute as an 
attribute of the <p> tag:

    <p>{$res/../@speakername}: {$res}</p>

becomes:

    <p speakername="Roy Walter">Some text...</p>

What I want is:

    <p>Roy Walter: Some text...</p>

How does MonetDB/XQuery handle this? I tried:

    <p>{xs:string($res/../@speakername)}: {$res}</p>

but it errors.
