I think the easiest way to do it is with XSLT of the kind I gave you
in the previous example. There's no standard step that I can see for
"replace the content of an element with a string", which is
essentially what you need to do to create an element from a string.
You could use p:string-replace:
<p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc">
<p:variable name="product-name" select="'Fribble Widgets'" />
<p:string-replace match="product/text()">
<p:input port="source">
<p:inline>
<product>product-name</product>
</p:inline>
</p:input>
<p:with-option name="replace"
select="concat('"',
replace($product-name, '"', '""'),
'"')" />
</p:string-replace>
</p:pipeline>
but the p:with-option there isn't pretty, because the value of the
replace option is an XPath expression, so to create a (quoted) string
from the value you have in the $product-name variable, you need to
concatenate some quotes and then make sure you escape any quotes in
the value of the $produce-name variable.
Maybe there'd be a use for a p:set-value step. I don't know.
