Use the arc:setc keyword to add static text without escaping the special characters (such as square brackets) in Script. While you can escape special characters with a backslash, this keyword provides a shortcut. For example, this keyword can be used to easily set an XPath.

​
Parameters

  • item: The item in which to set the attribute.
  • attr: The name of the attribute.
  • value: The value to assign to the attribute. If this parameter is not provided, the entire body of the arc:setc keyword is used as the value. This is convenient when setting long or multi-line values.
  • copyfrom: The attributes from the item specified in this parameter are copied to the item specified by the item parameter.

Example

<arc:setc attr="xpath" value="/root/book[1]/@name" />
