I'd like to put xml comment in the output and put some expression inside the comment. How can I do that in xquery? If I have
<!-- {$var} -->
it is inserted literally, but I'd like to have a comment tag on the output with the value of $var
Write expression inside xml comment

XQuery has a comment constructor, for example:
<test>
{
let $x := 'hello world!'
return comment {$x}
}
</test>
yields:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test><!--hello world!--></test>
Would something like this work?
for $x in /* return <x><![CDATA[<!--]]>{$x}<![CDATA[-->]]> </x>
input
<test>hello comment</test>
output
<!--hello comment-->
