Watch out that if $f1 (say) contains the string ]]> you'd be liable to a
cdata injection attack.
Having said that, no, I'd probably write an e() function,
declare function my:e($name as xs:string, $content as xs:string)
as xs:string
{
return concat("<", $name, ">", $content, "</", $name, ">")
}
and use my:e("ul",
concat(my:e("li", $f1),
my:e("li", $f2),
my:e("li", $f3))
and so on. Which gives you slightly more checking.
The implementation will probably generate < and > rather than
CDATA; XML says they're equivalent.
In XQuery 3 there's a per-element serialization option for CDATA
sections,
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization-30/#XML_CDATA-SECTION-ELEMENTS
so if BaseX implements that you have a way to get closer to what you
want, perhaps, e.g. for generating RSS. However, you'd still need to
construct a string containing "<h1>" etc.
