Hi Paul

What output do you want from the example you gave? For example, are you just
looking for a way to insert elements into other element by reference, ie,
where an element has a @ref that matches an element's @name, replace the
first one with the one it refers to?

Sometimes an explanation is easier to understand than lots of code and gets
a solution suited to it, rather than one that just works.

regards,
Tom
