[MarkLogic Dev General] javascript in .xqy file

Wed Aug 27 12:05:26 PDT 2008

Escape the braces by doubling them up, e.g., {{ and }}.  If your JS  
contains a < or > then you'll need to move your function to a  
separate .js file and include it in the XQY, like so: <script  
type="text/javascript" src="javascript/prototype.js"></script>.
