Syntax

tf:getCollection(documentNode $node) => NMTOKEN

Description

The function tf:getCollection is specific to Tamino. It takes a node as argument and returns the name of the collection that the node is stored in.

Argument

$node	a single node of any kind

Examples

• Get the name of the collection that contains at least one book element:

  tf:getCollection(input()//book[1])

  It would be a type exception at runtime, if you just try tf:getCollection(input()//book), since the function expects a single node and not a node sequence.

• For all title elements get the collection name:

  for $a in input()//title
  return tf:getCollection($a)
