[MarkLogic Dev General] Creating text files

[Ron Hitchens]

  You need the computed constructor for text nodes.  Try this:

    let $css-content := "h1{background:orange}"
    let $css-path := fn:concat("/css/",$user,".css")
    xdmp:document-insert($css-path, text { $css-content })

  All documents inserted must have a root node.  If the root
is an element, then it's treated as XML.  If it's a text node,
then it's a text (CLOB) document.  If it's a binary node, then
it's a binary BLOB.
