Description
The functx:wrap-values-in-elements function takes a sequence of atomic values and places each one inside an element with the name specified in $elementName.
The name must be specified as an xs:QName value. QNames can be constructed with calls to the xs:QName type constructor or the fn:QName function, as shown in the examples.
