$doc := create nodename|expression

new

Returns a new document object. The argument must evaluate either to a valid element name (possibly followed by some attribute declarations) to be used for the document element, or to a well-formed XML string.

Unless switch-to-new-documents option is turned off, this command also changes current node to the new document.
