If there's more than one author then another query is needed:

for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/bookreturn {    for $y in $x/author    return <name>{data($y)}</name>}

hm.. thank you men, but interresting, when i use the code with { } then i got an error message

XPST0003: Unexpected token "{" in path expression

i used this and now it worked, but do you have an answer to the error code?yes i know, brackets on wrong position :-)

{for $x in doc("books.xml") /bookstore/bookreturn    for $y in $x/author    return <name>{data($y)}</name>}

HI everybody i have done the xquery tutorial, but i have a question.in the xml document there is an book entry with more then one author,as example i have postet one example here:<book category="Test"><title lang="en">How it works</title><author>Max Mustermann</author><author>Susi Sorglos</author><author>Herbert Bauer</author></book>Now i start a query, with the following code line.for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/bookreturn<name> {data($x/author)}</name>i got all the autors, but in one line,.<name>Max Mustermann Susi Sorglos Herbert Bauer</name>

do you have an idea to get a result like this`:

<name>Max Mustermann</name>

<name>Susi Sorglos</name>

<name>Herbert Bauer</name>
