Matching Nodesets

A nodeset pattern is designated by a list in the pattern, beginning the identifier list. The example below illustrates matching a nodeset.

(sxml-match '("i" "j" "k" "l" "m")
  [(list ,a ,b ,c ,d ,e)
   `((p ,a) (p ,b) (p ,c) (p ,d) (p ,e))])

This example wraps each nodeset item in an HTML paragraph element. This example can be rewritten and simplified through using ellipsis:

(sxml-match '("i" "j" "k" "l" "m")
  [(list ,i ...)
   `((p ,i) ...)])

This version will match nodesets of any length, and wrap each item in the nodeset in an HTML paragraph element.
