Details

This function constructs a new parentless comment node.

The content of the comment (that is, the string value of the node) is formed by evaluating the first argument. If this is an empty sequence, the string value will be a zero-length string.

If the function is called twice with the same arguments, it is unpredictable whether it returns the same node or different nodes from the two invocations.

If the content contains the substring "--", or if it ends in "-", this is handled in the same way as the xsl:comment instruction; the value is fixed by inserting spaces.
