insert-after(inserted, after?)

Insert inserted, one or more nodes, after node after. Parameter after defaults to the context node.

Examples:

insert-after(copy(.));

insert-after(<meta name="{$metaName}" content="{$metaContent}"/>, $title);

Always pass detached nodes as the first argument of insert or replace

	Always pass detached nodes as the first argument of `insert` or `replace`
The nodes passed as the first argument of commands `insert-after`, `insert-before`, `insert-into` or `replace` must have no parent nodes (“detached nodes”). Example: something like what follows works fine: delete($caption); insert-after($caption, $table); While something like what follows will report an execution error: insert-after($caption, $table); delete($caption); When passing detached nodes is not possible or not desirable, simply use XPath extension function `copy()` to copy the nodes. Example: insert-after(copy($caption), $table); delete($caption);
