author element into the XML document when
creating the package element - this should then
"bootstrap" the process and ensure that the author details will remain
-editable as long as the package element exists.Although it is not necessary to use document initialisation in resources, the above case would be detected by an input/initialiser stylesheet, and the package and author elements would be added if no way of adding them was mentioned in the template. Typically, we would employ selectors to provide the ability to add elements in templates, and the above example could be extended as follows:
<p template:element="package">
<p template:element="author">
Name: <input template:attribute-field="name" name="..." type="text" value="..."/>
</p>
<p>
<input name="..." template:selector-field="add-author,author" type="submit" value="Add author" />
</p>
</p>
With the newly-added selector, we can see that author elements could at least be added by users of the application, but package

With the newly-added selector, we can see that author elements could at least be added by users of the application, but package
elements would still be impossible to create in the user interface. The
document initialisation mechanism distinguishes between these two cases
by looking for selectors which mention element names; here, the template:selector-field attribute has two parts to its value:

user-edited form data before presenting that data using our template.
There are many possible ways of inserting extra XML elements into an existing XML document, but XSLForms provides an easy way of defining lists of values that will be included in the way we desire. First, let
