rxml:metadata()

Arguments:	[string], [boolean], [boolean]
Returns:	node-set

Returns meta-data for the current content file or a set of files. If no argument is given this function will return a node-set consisting of the following nodes:

  <filename>...</filename>
  <path>...</path>
  <type>...</type>
  ...

All entities accessible from <emit dir>(SB) will appear as children to the <file> element.

When a string argument is passed to the function it is considered to be a path. If it's relative it's interpreted relative to the current content file. The last segment of the path may contain globbing characters * and ?. The resulting node-set will contain <file> elements as described above as well as <dir> elements:

  <file>...</file>
  <file>...</file>
  <dir>
    <dirname>...</dirname>
    <path>...</path>
    <selected>...</selected>
  </dir>
  ...

The second optional argument controls whether invisible files should be included when a directory is examined. Normally files who are invisibile according to their External Visibility metadata are excluded from the result.

The third optional argument controls whether deleted files should be included when a directory is examined.

The <dir> elements will only contain <dirname>, <path> and <selected> elements.

The order of items is undefined, so use <xsl:sort> to get them alphabetically sorted:

  <xsl:for-each select=" rxml:metadata('/subdir/')">
    <xsl:sort select="filename | dirname"/>
    ...
  </xsl:for-each>

Note!

This function is Roxen-specific.
