How does one insert an arbitrary file. doc('q') parses it. How does one just, you know, #include q as in C?

Hm, where do you want to include your file? Do you have a small, concise example? C.

That's what XML serialization is about; everything else would be invalid. Once again, you may want to switch to "text" as output method to avoid escaping: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Serialization Christian

I just need to import my english.html that is created by txt2html. I need a way to turn of the mangling.

Note that XQuery was designed to *always* generate well-formed XML fragments - which is why it's hardly possible to create arbitrary copy-and-pasted results, as one is used to from other scripting languages. If you still want to do so, you will have to resort to the "text" output method, and compose your results via serialize() and numerous string operations. This is of course possible, but it's somewhat contrary to the original paradigm of XML languages, and XQuery may not be the best language for such a use case.
