When you run an XPath expression, Oxygen XML Author displays the results of its execution in the Results view.
This view contains the following columns:
- Description - The result thatOxygen XML Author displays when you run an XPath expression.
- Resource - The name of the document that you run the XPath expression on.
- Location - The location of the result in the document.
- /node[value]/node[value]/node[value] -
The following snippets are taken from a DocBook book based on the DocBook XML DTD.
The book
contains a number of chapters. To return all the chapter nodes of the book, enter
//chapter in the XPath expression field and press
(Enter). This action returns all the
chapter nodes of the DocBook book in the Results
View. Click a record in the Results View to locate and
highlight its corresponding chapter element and all its children nodes in the document
you
are editing.
To find all example nodes contained in the sect2 nodes of
a DocBook XML document, use the following XPath expression:
//chapter/sect1/sect2/example. Oxygen XML Author adds a result in
the Results View for each example node found in any
sect2 node.
For example, if the result of the above XPath expression is:
- /chapter[1]/sect1[3]/sect2[7]/example[1]
it means that in the edited file, the example node is located in the first
chapter, third section level one, seventh section level 2.
