bastjan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi! I'm trying to create a mixed content node like: 
<head><term>Einführung</term> in die
        <term>Soziologie</term></head>

[download]
Given is the Text String "Einführung in die Soziologie". But I don't know how. I couldn't fin anything in the forum or on the net, I checked the documentation o XML::LibXML, but again no hits. Tips anybody?

Re: Create Mixed Content with XML::LibXML

    I see no "mixed content" node.

    What I see is a head element that has three child elements, the first child and the third child are term elements, the second child is a #text element. Both term elements have one #text child element each.

    And this is exactly how you would create it with XML::LibXML. Create the root element, create child elements, append the elements, create text nodes, append them to the parent nodes (Hint: shortcut methods appendText() and appendTextChild()).

      As code: 

      my $term1 = XML::LibXML::Element->new('term');
$term1->appendTextNode('Einführung');

my $term2 = XML::LibXML::Element->new('term');
$term2->appendTextNode('Soziologie');

my $head = XML::LibXML::Element->new('head');
$head->addChild($term1);
$head->appendTextNode(' in die ');
$head->addChild($term2);

      (Pay attention to the notes for addChild in the docs.)
