Web Functions
These functions will demonstrate how to embed and work with content from other websites.

XML Functions
These functions will demonstrate how to work with XML inside and outside your MindTouch.
| DekiScript | Description |
|---|---|
{{ xml.format(wiki.api(page.api)["//user.author"]) }} | Convert the XML document to a formatted string. Xml.Format provides three formatting options: plain, xhtml, and indented. |
{{ xml.text(page.xml, "//span[@id='sample-text']") }} | Get the the text value of an XML node. The XML node can be optionally selected using an XPath expression with XML namespaces. Xml.Text captures the text value of its first child node, which must be a text node. This means that if the XML node has mixed content (i.e. sub-elements and text nodes), then only the text up to the first sub-element is returned. Alternatively, Xml.Text can return the XML string representation of the selected node. |
