Re^4: XML::Twig and paste

I need to put some extra html formatting before the XML before I print it, though, and the formatting depends on the element, so I do need to do the inner loop to get each element. So, I guess I'm still kind of confused here--if paste puts in 2 elements, the actual element and its text, how do you print out the element, and not that secondary text element? Sorry if I sound like a broken record; I still don't understand. Jezzica85

You can loop through only the "real" elements by writing `next_element( '#ELT').`. You could also use the start_tag and end_tag methods for "real" elements and the xml_string element for text ('#PCDATA') element. Alternatively, and I would reccomend that approach, you could generate the "extra html formating" as part of the document: adding attributes, inserting elements or wrapping existing elements in new ("formating") elements. Then you can output the twig (or parts of it) at once.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you so much mirod, that worked! I'll keep the other stuff you mentioned about twigs in mind, too. Jezzica85	[reply]
