Usage

# S3 method for XMLNode
[(x, i) <- value
# S3 method for XMLNode
[(x, i) <-  value
# S3 method for XMLNode
[[(x, i) <- value

Value

The XML node x containing the new or modified nodes.

Arguments

x

the XMLNode object to which the sub-node is to be assigned.

i

the identifier for the position in the list of children of x into which the right-hand-side node(s) should be assigned. These can be either numbers or names.

one or more XMLNode objects which are to be the sub-nodes of x.
