Examples

::

    doc = `xmlReadStr`_("<root><a att=""foo"" rib=""bar""><b>Hello</b></a></root>");
    // This code will fail:
    // doc.root.children(1.5) = 1.23456;
    
    // Now we define %s_xmlFormat to handle double type
    // Take care, in this example, the double matrix is not handled
    function y=%s_xmlFormat(x), y="<number>" + `string`_(x) + "</number>", endfunction;
    
    // we retry a number insertion
    doc.root.children(1.5) = 1.23456;
