The ContentModel(xmlTree) command returns the content model of the XML element xmlTree. The data is returned in the form of a list of strings or a list of XML trees, and it occurs in the same order as in the input element.

Note: To remove all the attributes of element xmlTree, leaving the attributes of any subelements unchanged, use XMLElement( ElementName(xmlTree), [], ContentModel(xmlTree)).

The ContentModelCount(xmlTree) command counts the number of children (attributes are not counted) of the XML element xmlTree. The number of children is returned as a non-negative integer.
