Untested...
function expand_refs (context) {
$(xref,context||document).each(function (i) {
var rpl = defs[$(this).attr(ref)]||0;
if(rpl){
var cntxt = $(rpl).insertAfter(this);
$(this).remove();
expand_refs(cntxt);
}

expand_refs();

Hi,
I'm generating some code that looks like the snippet below. Embedded
within the html are some xref elements. I want to expand each one
according to the corresponding property of the defs object.
My naive attempt is as follows
function expand_refs () {
$(xref).each(function (i) {
$(this).replaceWith(defs[$(this).attr(ref)]);
});
}
...but this only replaces the first level (i.e. it doesn't expand the
D2488 xref). Can anyone help out?
Cheers,
Andy
