ANSWER

Answered 2021-Nov-06 at 20:01

No, XPath alone cannot produce a list of lists of strings:

XPath 1.0's nodesets are never nested.
XPath 2.0/3.1's sequences are never nested.

In general, XPath is for selection, not transformation. In your first example, XPath selects a list of text nodes and presents them as a list of string values.

To further transform the nodes selected by one or more XPath expressions, employ the general programming facilities of the hosting language (XSLT, Python, JavaScript, etc).

Update: Per your comment, you indicate that a lexical representation of the desired grouping would suffice. Yes, you could compose the targeted output via string functions:

Trying to understand multiple predicates

I came across http://xpather.com, which lets you write XPath expressions. It comes with a sample XML document which is similar to this one:

Answered 2021-Aug-13 at 09:29

The .//*[self::abstract or self::subject or self::note] means ./descendant-or-self::node()/*[self::abstract or self::subject or self::note] and your positional predicate applies to the last step with /*[self::abstract or self::subject or self::note], thus selects any first or second child element selected by *[self::abstract or self::subject or self::note].

QUESTION

Want to use XPath to ensure that an XHTML element has a parent a with specific name

Asked 2021-Jul-19 at 13:20

XPath

I have an XHTML document where I want to use XPath to ensure that any element with the class attribute set to block has p as the parent element.

The XPath statement I am using will not catch the offending element in the XHTML below, unless I change the element name of

Lorem ipsum dolor

to e.g. Lorem ipsum dolor, or change the XPath statement, replacing [not(p)] with e.g. [not(u)]. Somehow, the fact that there is a sibling element (p) with the same element name as the parent element prevents this from working.

Any ideas of what I should do?

QUESTION

Invalid HTML when testing with XPather

Asked 2021-Feb-04 at 23:50

I would like to use xpather to test out some XPATH on a webpage. I am using chrome to "View source" on the webpage and then copying the source html into the left window on xpather. However xpather indicates that from an XML point of view the HTML is invalid. I get 2 main types of errors:

The id value must be unique.

Tag must be paired, no start tag

I definitely want to test out XPATH expressions directly on the HTML source as this frees me to focus on the XPATH query itself. It also allows me to validate results that I am getting through third-party libraries such as lxml in python. Just fyi, lxml does not seem to have a problem with the html and can turn it to an etree element with no issues.

What should I do here? I can think of two possibilities:

validate the HTML first to ensure it is accepted by xpather. However I'm not sure if its possible to do that without actually modifying the original html. I would like to keep the webpage source intact if possible.
Find another tool with can run XPATH expressions directly on html. Is there such a thing as "HPATH"?
