Creating an XML element

Ordinarily, you create XML elements by importing an XML file, but you also can create an XML element
using InCopy scripting, as shown in the following script fragment (from the CreateXMLElement tutorial
script):
var myXMLTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("myXMLTag");
var myRootElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0);
var myXMLElment = myRootElement.xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
myXMLElement.contnets = "This is an XML element containing text."

Moving an XML element

You can move XML elements within the XML structure using the
script fragment (from the MoveXMLElement tutorial script):
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var myRootXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0);
var myXMLTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("xml_element");
var myXMLElementA = myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
myXMLElementA.contents = "A";
var myXMLElementB = myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
myXMLElementB.contents = "B";
var myXMLElementC = myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
myXMLElementC.contents = "C";
var myXMLElementD = myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
myXMLElementD.contents = "D";
//Move the XML element containing "A" to after
//the XML element containing "C"
myXMLElementA.move(LocationOptions.after, myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.item(2));
//Move the XML element containing "D" to the beginning of its parent.
myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.item(-1).move(LocationOptions.atBeginning);
//Place the XML structure so that you can see the result.
myDocument.stories.item(0).placeXML(myRootXMLElement);

Deleting an XML element

Deleting an XML element removes it from both the layout and the XML structure, as shown in the
following script fragment (from the DeleteXMLElement tutorial script):
myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.item(0).remove();

Duplicating an XML element

When you duplicate an XML element, the new XML element appears immediately after the original XML
element in the XML structure, as shown in the following script fragment (from the DuplicateXMLElement
tutorial script):
