To display an org chart you only want to display the individual and their direct reports.

== Approach ==
We will use computed element and attribute constructors.

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
let $positions := doc('/db/my-org/apps/hr/data/positions.xml')/position

{for $subelement in $positions/position
    return
       element {name($subelement)} 
       
       {for $attribute in $subelement/@*
          return attribute {name($attribute)} {$attribute}
       ,
       $subelement/text()}
 }
